We are in the 10th month of the year 2008…October. Traditionally this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My encouragement to any woman who is reading this is to do a self breast exam every month, have a yearly physical, and a yearly mammogram (age appropriate). With only 2 months remaining this year, and they tend to be busy ones, don’t procrastinate. Take care of these very important tasks this month. And for any man who is reading this, encourage the women in your life…mother, sister, girlfriend, wife…to tend to these tasks as well. And, men can get breast cancer as well. Ask your doctor about preventative measures for yourself. I’d like to direct you to two websites: The Breast Cancer Site and The Sister Study for more information and ways you can help others. Have a healthy month.

There's no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits. | |

 Whether it be your first massage experience, a seldom occasion, or perhaps a massage with a different therapist, it is always less intimidating knowing what to expect.
