WHO NEEDS A MASSAGE?
YOU DO!
When asked what he attributed to his youthful
vibrancy, the late great comedian Bob Hope said, "among other factors...
...I have a daily massage!"
Dr. Reilly (of Cayce / Reilly School of Massotherapy in Virginia Beach.) was Bob Hope's massage therapist. It is said that Bob Hope got a massage daily and lived to be over a 100 years old. Perhaps, we can’t all have a daily massage like Bob Hope did. However, biweekly or monthly massages have been known to offer many benefits for improved wellness.
According to the National Chronic Pain Outreach Association
more than 30 million people suffer from chronic pain. The effectiveness of massage therapy for pain management lies in its holistic approach by focusing on the entire body and its relationship to soft tissue pain.
