Massage isn't just about relaxing and getting blissed out, but it's also not just about working out tension and relieving pain. It's about all of that, and more. Massage can relieve sore muscles, improve sleep, lessen pain, boost immunity, improve balance and coordination, lessen depression, break up scar tissue, improve range of motion, ease agitation-- the list goes on. Below are some articles that may be of interest to you, and if you'd like to receive a massage within the next month refer to this newsletter to receive a $10 credit towards a Massage, or CranioSacral Therapy, at Yogabliss on Mercer Island through May 22, 2012. Appointments are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Call or text 206-599-9270 to schedule. Not in the area, but know someone who is? Ask me about gift certificates!
