Following are three health reasons that encompass why all American adults should take advantage of the care available at Massage Advantage:
1. We Can Help Tension in the Home
Children are very sensitive and often pick up on tension in the household. Massage therapy helps parents to be better caregivers and provide a sense of security for their kids. This is
the same for caregivers of aging parents and other family members as well. Massage Advantage provides opportunities for tension relief, clearer thinking, and emotional balance as a result
of our therapeutic massages.
2. We Can Help Improve Your Value at Work
The health benefits of massage can help forestall illness reducing lost work time, improve decision-making and job performance, and provide for clearer focus and more energy.
A hint for the boss: Research shows employees exhibit less stress and improved performance when given twice-weekly, 15-minute massages in the office! Call 256-237-9423. A hint for the
employee: Experience also shows that a one-hour massage has the same relaxing and stress-relieving benefits as a two-day vacation. When you don't have time to leave for two days, let
your body take a healthy and relaxing vacation with a one-hour massage at Massage Advantage.
3. We Can Help Relieve Existing Conditions
