Welcome to the latest edition of Massage Moves, particularly to those
receiving it for the first time.
Thank you to all those who
responded to our request for feedback - we appreciate your time and
comments.
In order to be more responsive to your calls, one change
that we have recently made is that Betty will be answering the phone some
of the time that Richard is unavailable. Being able to give more immediate
information should make your massage booking process a little smoother.
Whilst there still will be occasions when we will both be massaging,
hopefully this should reduce the amount of time we rely on our answering
machine.
On the therapist development front, Dayle and Richard have
recently completed a certificate in "Pregnancy Massage" at Nature Care
College and so we can offer a greater range of service and availability to
those who require professional massage during this important
time.
Best Regards
Richard and the Inner West Massage Team.

Price Increase ( + special offer for Newsletter
subscribers) |
 |
Unfortunately price increases are a fact of life. Our costs have
increased (particularly petrol which is a significant factor in our
business) and we've reached the time when we have to pass on these
increases to our customers. From the 1st March 2006 we will be increasing
our base price for a one hour massage from $70 to $80 We still consider
these prices great value compared with other mobile massage
organisations.
As a special offer to you, as a subscriber to
"Massage Moves" we are delaying this price increase until the 1st May
2006. Also if you wish to purchase a 3
massage package with your favourite therapist, then again our price
will remain the same at $190 until 1st May (a saving of $50 when compared
with paying $80 for three massages).
To qualify for this offer then
please mention that you are a subscriber when making a booking.

Static Stretching |
|
This article continues the series on stretching and looks at some
research into Static Stretching. Static stretching is probably the most
common stretch utilized by athletes and those who are looking to improve
their flexibility and/or joint range of motion. In static stretching, a
joint is moved through it’s range of motion so that the muscle is held in
the stretch position and held statically (without any movement) usually
for around 10 to 30 seconds.

When not to have a massage |
|
While we have spent the past year or so espousing the benefits that
massage can bring (and in particular the benefits of having a massage in
your own home), there are occasions when massage is not the most
appropriate treatment. These are generally referred to as Massage
Contraindications, simply meaning that massage is inadvisable and
conditions may exist in which it would not be beneficial to apply massage
to part of or all of the body.
