massage makes economic sense
These days, missing work because of sickness, pain, or injury is something everyone wants to avoid. In the long run, it’s cost-effective to invest money in staying well. Just as changing your car’s oil filter is an easy way to keep your car running smoothly, massage therapy can be a rejuvenative pit stop for your whole body’s well-being. It’s worth considering, right along with eating healthy food, exercising, and getting adequate sleep.To those of you who see me regularly, thank you. I am so happy that my work is helpful to you. To those of you who may be hesitant for financial reasons, I understand. Know that even one session a month can have great benefits. A 30 minute massage, at $40 to $55, is effective for many of my regular clients.
The bottom line is, I want you to be healthy and happy, because happy clients will spread the word that bodywork is efficient and enjoyable health care. That would be good for me and you, but also good for our greater culture and community.
