Everyone is not your customer.
The info within this site may offend some of you. Just a warning in advanced.
Yes it's true we don't all hold the pencil in our hand the same way or see the same art work as appealing to the eye.. We may not all have the same experiences which lead to different opinions.
Take a deep breath its totally ok.
We don't have to agree on everything in life.
Shockingly some people may go 10 yrs without ever getting muscle work on their body. If I COULD ONLY FIND THE TIME I AM LIKE SO BUSY... Just imagine how sticky there tissue would be underneath the skin.
Walking into the office the first time may feel like walking into the fog. Uncertain as to if it will pose as a good session could possibly be a little stressful for some. Clear your mind and don't expect anything and you might be fairly surprised.
Why do some list and some don't?
Im not hiding anything please check around see for yourself.

Benefits to bring my own sheets? Save $10.00
"I don't like the laundry soap you used it bothers my skin"
"Oh I hope my spray tan chemicals I use come out of your sheets, I don't want to ruin your sheets"
" I am so sorry I didn't realize I was bleeding from that scab of mine"
These issues are taxing over the years and would help me out if you would bring in your own sheets. However the choice is yours. Thank you
One last note I use an oil that is non nut based so there should be no lingering smell.
Early in my career I used Sweet almond oil and it never came completely out of the sheets upon washing,
producing a rancid pungent smell
when I took it out of the dryer.
The excess oil was burning into the sheets.
So pls don't bring in those type sheets. At current time I am not using different oils people bring in for me to use.

Amazing how many people miss that or take that for granted as part of our business model.

"Yeah but your not covered under my insurance plan..."
Ask your insurance company why they don't cover massage,
they will try and tell you its just for relaxation perhaps.
The big factor I'm not on a time clock trying to cash in on multiple codes, remember more codes more money.
You are not limited on visit's as in 10 for the year.
Many years back I remember a chiro working on a patient involved in an accident, her insurance would only pay for her neck to be adjusted. So I being me asked why don't you adjust the whole body since it's all connected? The chiro stated I can't because her insurance won't pay for it and if they caught wind that I did adjust the area I could get into a lot of hot water.
Moral of the story,
Yeah it was under insurance but she was only getting partially treated.
PATHETIC!
Don't let your health care card determine your care.

Pain is a warning sign that One needs to slow down,
So tune in to why you're feeling it,
than of course take action to get to the root of the problem.
You should always want the work before you need the work.
To often in our country
we are often given medication
to numb this pain
or
get surgery to cut nerves leading us to not feel the pain.
The mindset for many is when we FEEL pain
we eat or drink things to make us FEEL less pain.
Leading to way too much sugar in our system
which leads to feeling pain often times from inflammation.
Aka during the holidays people come in and everything is alot more sore why? Cake, alcohol, pie, cookies puts more sugar in the system.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
People come with things that didn't happen in an hour, their problems could have been years in the making however they expect to leave with those things fixed in an hour.
Expectations...
The reality is sometimes this is possible and sometimes it is not.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Just remember
DISCIPLINED MAINTENANCE
will lead to less car problems & this works the same for the body.
You can't brush your teeth a few times a month
and expect they are going to be ok.
When you are consistent with your habits you build momentum
and when you build enough momentum its difficult for external
friction to slow it down. It truly is a lifestyle few will pursue.

Within the world we live in many people may feel highly vulnerable
to the aspect of going into a room
and having a professional body worker
laying hands on their naked body.
Yet that same person will have no concerns and feel totally fine
going to a restaurant and allowing a complete stranger
they have never met,
to prepare a meal in which they will swallow internally
into their stomach yet not feel vulnerable
in any way. Always amazing how the mind ticks...

Many things in your life can improve when your mind is in the right place, your exercise is adequate and diet is well.
If you take this up a notch get some good bodywork and stretching.
Laugh often!
Yeah but how can it help me?
Did you know...
Massage helps those who suffer from fatigue, aches, and many other things by:
Manually moving the fluids and exchanging blood throughout the muscles of the body.
Helping them refuel and remove much of the irritants that have been hanging around inflaming the tissue.
Breaking down the adhesions that build up in underused muscles while gently stretching them. This helps prepare the person to get up and move with more ease and comfort.
Increasing lymphatic flow which helps move the cellular wastes out of the tissue and into the lymph nodes to be removed, also helps the body analyze and scour for bacterial or viral infections. Increased lymph flow generally means a quicker immune response.
Massage has been shown to lower cortisol levels in the blood (a sign of stress).
It will also increase serotonin levels which make us feel relaxed and more alert.
Shockingly it might even help with your attitude cause lately when you come into the store you have been a real pain in the #&!#*^.
I have seen through my years many who will make claims they can fix all your problems...
I just went through a seminar, where the guy said we heal cancer through our work. Mind you this was a massage seminar.
Yeah well I don't make those claims !
However we have had success through out the years with a combination of different modalities treating:
- Chronic neck pain.
- Intra oral Jaw pain / TMJ issues.
- Rib head pain in sternum.
- Carpal tunnel issues from Repetitive over use.
- Frozen shoulder / Rotator cuff issues.
- Extremity Numbness / Pain.
- Restricted Range of Motion throughout the body.
- Plantar fasciitis/ Pain in bottom of foot.
- Sprains and strains.
- General relaxation and blood pressure/stress
More money more money more money
Volume based office
I asked a lady why she comes to me as she has so many choices all throughout this area. She said I truly feel you care and you enjoy spending time with my issues. I don't feel that with most people I go to. They are always in a hurry.
I said yeah that is the difference from a volume business compared to someone like me. I told her about a busy chiropractic office and how there was a standing line to get in to see them for your 2 min adjustment.
It runs like a factory. Unfortunately you're under the clock in this type office it's all about numbers and volume, selling contracts at a large number of visits (UP FRONT) for a discount.
Many volume-based businesses are run with the mindset more is better.
So I would question, Is the focus on numbers, dollars, volume, or the best care that can be given?
One could become a number, easily lost in a system where there is so many knocking & substandard work is quite possibly the norm.
But you say it can't be that bad because your health Insurance card copay is only $25.00.
Unfortunately these offices see a high volume which means MORE money for advertising and marketing which means MORE people see their info which means sometimes people think the BIGGER you are you must be good.
After all I heard you on the radio and the TV and you have a BIG building so your work has to be good. Plus you have an affiliation with this sports team, volunteering your work.
Let's keep it real they use you because of the fact you're willing to volunteer your time and give you the perk of sharing pictures on social media. Connections go along way, but truly don't mean your work is good.
In a relationship with someone who truly cares they spend TIME period. However realize someone can still spend time with you and have no skill.
Interesting tidbits
