I have been doing a bit of research lately on Fibromyalgia and massage therapy and stumbled across some interesting pain and sleep management studies done. There is a link to Dysfunctional Breathing Patterns and Fibromyalgia.
There have been several studies done on pain management using breathing exercises with patients who have fibromyalgia and studies have proven patients to see a reduction in pain and improved sleep with only doing 8 weeks of breathing exercises.

A new breathing exercise to try daily:
-Inhale 4 seconds
-Hold 7 seconds
-Exhale 8 seconds

Happy New Year!!!
Out with the old and in with the new! (Skin that is!)

Right now the skin can be doing all sorts of funky things like flaking, experiencing extra dryness and looking more dull than usual. A facial is a GREAT way to battle this safely and effectively. Through gentle exfoliation and nourishment customized for your skin type, your skin looks and feels better but is also healthier and absorbs products better and helps makeup lay better also.

Pair it with our 60 or 90 min Therapeutic Massage, to relieve life's stress/work and aches/discomfort.

Time well spent! Allowing you to decompress and reboot after this incredibly busy holiday season!!!!
