Tonight, KREX / News Channel 5 aired a special report (part 1 of 3) on massage "parlors" and prostitution. A couple things are important to know that the story didn't mention yet.
Massage parlor and massage therapy business are 2 different entities. A massage parlor is a business that offers massage services by UN-TRAINED staff.
Massage therapists and businesses offer therapeutic massage services by TRAINED therapists, that are required to be registered with the State of Colorado.
The state of Colorado began requiring all massage therapists be registered with the State on April 1, 2009. To become a registered massage therapist, the therapist have received a certain amount of training, be fingerprinted and pass a background check.
When the registration law took place, the city of Grand Junction estimated that there were approximately 8 massage parlors in the city.
The Massage Store is NOT a massage parlor. All of our therapists are registered with the State. We only offer therapeutic services, and do NOT offer any sexual services whatsoever. Our reputation is extremely important to us, and we would never do anything to jeopardize it.
We have contacted News Channel 5 to help clarify their story, and also to hopefully have them shed some positive light on the legitimate massage therapists in the Grand Junction area.

We are now a Sombra distributor!
The Massage Store is now a distributor for Sombra Pain Relieving Gel. You are probably saying, what does that mean? We can now sell Sombra's products to other healthcare professionals at wholesale pricing, so they can then sell in their practices. Many local chiropractors and massage therapists use and sell Sombra, but are currently purchase it online from an out of area distributor. We now offer them a local source, at an affordable price!
We are also passing on savings to our retail customers by lowering our retail prices!
If you are not familiar with Sombra, it is an excellent pain relieving gel. They offer a Warm Therapy and Cool Therapy versions, and various sizes from 1/2 oz up to 1 gallon. Many people are more familiar with BioFreeze, and it is a similar product, but we feel Sombra is more effective and higher quality than BioFreeze.
For more information, please call or e-mail us!

Why do we offer a 75-minute massage instead of a traditional 60 minute?
Many new clients call us asking for a "standard" hour massage. We kindly explain to them that we don't normally offer an hour massage and that our "standard" massage is 75 minutes. Many often ask why that is.
Frequently, places that offer an hour massage often include time to fill out paperwork as well as getting dressed and undressed in that 1 hour. So from the time you walk in until the time you walk out is 1 hour, but your actual hands-on massage time is more like 45-50 minutes.
If you are strictly looking for a relaxation massage, that might be ok. However, most of our clients have injuries, chronic pain and other issues that require deeper, more therapeutic work. We can't simply just brush over those areas. So, when The Massage Store first opened, we decided that to provide the type of massage our clients required and wanted, 75-minutes was the key. And that is 75 minutes of actual hands-on massage time. Filling out paperwork, paying and getting dresssed is all done outside of that 75 minute block of time!
Our customers love the extra time, realize more benefit from each massage session and ultimately recognize it as a better value for the money they are spending.
But we also understand, not everyone wants that long of an appointment. So, we do offer a 1/2 hour massage that focuses on a certain area, such as neck & shoulders, lower back, or legs.
We also offer 90 and 120 minutes appointments too, for those die-hard clients!
