Enjoying regular massage as part of one's healthful lifestyle is ideal--for the body/mind/spirit and for getting on a massage therapist's calendar. But sometimes, we strain a muscle, have unexpected free time on our hands, or want to treat someone (including oneself) and want or need a massage. Now!
Finding a massage therapist available on short notice can be a challenge. Not anymore. At Renaissance we'll get you in to enjoy a relaxing and/or therapeutic massage from a licensed massage therapist. See our massage menu here on the site, or download a copy for your convenience below. Think about chair massage. It's not just for the airport anymore! There is a growing number of people popping in to Renaissance midweek over their lunch hours or breaks to get a stress-relieving chair massage. Last week a weary social worker took a half hour break from a tough case to regroup and relax with a 20 minute chair massage. A county employee with a 50-page report deadline came by for a quick 5 minutes of forearm and upper body massage before returning to his typing marathon. Call first, if you'd like or simply drop in for a chair massage. We're pretty sure you'll be glad you did. click to download pdf flyerThis Week At Renaissance!
