Massage isn't just for relaxation. It isn't just an indulgence.
It can actually help you feel better, overall, which lets you get back to doing the things you want and love to do!
Many of us hesitate to do things that are good for us, sometimes because we can't find the time or don't think we can spend the money. We've all been there. But here is a real-life story from one of my clients who had been in pain for a long time, and finally found relief thanks to regular therapeutic massage.
"I was elated and amazed to have significant relief in that very first visit. For so many years I just lived with the pain and discomfort, and didn't know I could actually really feel well/whole again."
Here's Brenda's story about how massage has impacted her life, and why she makes it a part of her health care regimen.

What did you originally come in to Handprints to hopefully fix?
I had recurring pain in my back and shoulder, which was limiting my flexibility. Both symptoms were due to old injuries. I had gone through Physical Therapy, several times, with limited success. I have a strong desire to be able to live fully, doing everything I enjoy, and I just couldn’t accept modifying my life's activities, so I continued to pursue alternative help, which brought me to Handprints.
How long did you have pain and limited flexibility in your back and shoulder?
The injury to my back was from 2007, and I’ve experienced considerable discomfort for years. My shoulder injury was 2 years ago.
What did you think of your first massage session with Christy?
I was elated and amazed to have significant relief in that very first visit. For so many years I just lived with the pain and discomfort, and didn't know I could actually really feel well/whole again. A secondary benefit I hadn't expected was improved circulation; it was interesting to feel that difference.
What would you tell people who hesitate to get massage for their muscle issues?
I hesitated too, I never thought massage could make this kind of difference, I just went thinking I could get relief for a day and was going to be satisfied with that. I was wrong, so don't hesitate. Literally, in your first session you will feel the results. I can personally attest to the results I've experienced with my muscles recovering from use, or mostly overuse, to be much quicker and I am able to return to full activity within a day. I no longer have the limitations I had for the past 8-9 years, and certainly not the pain or discomfort. I now go once a week. I actually have my life back and have been able to do everything I enjoy doing again.
Is there anything else you'd like to see offered at Handprints, or is there anything they can improve on?
N/A - I have had nothing but exceptional visits every time.
