We had a client in the store today asking about some of the services we offer. Vivien mentioned to him that "cupping" might help some of the pain he is experiencing. He said "What?!"
Cupping is actually an ancient Chinese technique, using glass cups to create a vacuum effect on your skin, increasing blood flow to that area. Traditionally, it is done with fire, but we use a more modern, and safer system, but equally as effective.
We integrate cupping into your regular massage normally, but can do just a cupping session if a client wishes. However, we still need to warm up and massage that part of the body before applying the cups.
Visit our website and click on Health Articles to see a brief article on Cupping and some of it's benefits.
If you have any thoughts on this technique, we would love to hear from you! Visit our website (www.TheMassageStore.net) and click on our Blog!
Thank you!

From Vivien... Take time for yourself!
When I was doing chair massage today at a law firm, there was a lady that told me she had killer headache for over two days now. She said if I can make her headache go away she will be my best friend. I started to work her neck, shoulder, pecs....at the end of her 10 minute chair massage, she told me I am her new best friend. Yay!
Often we let headaches take over our day. If everyone would just take a little time out of their "busy schedule" to get a massage once in a while, you would see less frequent and severe headaches. Look at it this way - if you can't even take time to take care of your own body, how well can you take care of anyone or anything around you? My mother is fighting with cancer now. She is one of those good wife, good mom. Her husband and kids always come first. Even her friends come before herself. I keep telling her now is the time to take care of herself. It is never too late to give your body a little more love.
Now, my friends, do you really want to wait until you are so sick then say if I would have only take a little more time to love my body....especially to those good moms, good wives, good women out there. Massage is not a luxury, it is a necessity! Take a little vacation for your body & mind. Don't tell me "I am too busy". If you don't have time for a 75-minute full body massage, then get our 30-minute back, neck and shoulder. Still don't have time? We offer in-store chair massage and you can choose from 5-20 minutes, depending on how much time you have. Even just a few minute massage can go a long way.
Just think of it as you are making a deposit toward your healthy life. This post is for my mother and all the #1 moms out there..... Until next time please be good to your body.

Customer Appreciation Special! This is AMAZING!
Lately, we have run a few specials with the intent of targeting new clients. We haven't forgotten about our current clients! We have an outstanding special for you!
During the month of October, we will take 10% off your next massage for EACH massage you have received at The Massage Store in the last 6 months (since April 1, 2009). If you came in twice, you get 20% off. If you came in once a month, you would get 60% off! If you came in 10 or more times, your next massage is absolutely free!
We have a few restrictions... 1 offer per client, can not combine previous appointments with someone else to achieve a higher discount, must receive the discounted massage in October, 2009, discounted service must be the same or lower value than majority of previous eligible appointments (i.e. if you come in usually for 75-min massages, your discount applies to a 75-min - if you get more 1/2 hour massages, then the discount applies to a 1/2 hour appt), not valid with other offers.
This is the first time we have offered this appreciation event! This is a very limited time offer, so hurry in for your next massage!
We can't wait to see you!
