Welcome to 2012!  In 2011 we gave massages to over 7,000 clients.  Wow, that's a lot of massage.  We are grateful to be such an integral part of Ann Arbor life, bringing the healing art and science of massage to make your life better.

Let us help you make 2012 a healthy year.  Have you thought about joining our membership program?  It is a commitment to get a massage each month at a discounted price.  Stress is the leading cause of many health issues, and exercise and massage are proven stress reducers.  If your exercise program for the new year includes more trips to the gym or yoga studio, massage can help your muscles adjust to the change.

For more information, check out our website here or give us a call at (734) 623-1951.  We are here to help you!

Liz....Stretchin
Monthly Helpful Hint
Every month we will be helping you keep your body in balance with a helpful hint from one of our extraordinary therapists!

Liz Watt has this tip:

In the picture to the right, you can see me stretching my Levator Scapula.  The Levator Scapula is known as the "stiff neck muscle" and is one of the most common muscles to cause pain in the neck and/or shoulder.  Too much time on the computer, cradling a phone between your shoulder and ear, driving, and falling asleep with the head tilted to one side are all factors that can cause stiffness and pain in this muscle.  Stretching and receiving massage to release the muscle will help to alleviate the tension.

To stretch the muscle:

1.)  Turn your head to the opposite side you are stretching, and point your head downward

2.)  Place your hand on the back of your head and pull forward and down until a stretch is felt

3.)  Hold for 10-15 seconds

For a more intense stretch, grab the seat of your chair with your free hand and lean to the side to pull your shoulder down.
