Acupressure treatments
We’re very happy to let you know that all 24 of our massage therapists received 3 hours of amazing deep tissue massage therapy training on October 31st. Our instructor, Tony Sheppard, helped us warm up with a Tai Chi session, then taught us techniques to help us save energy during massage therapy in order to work best for our customers. Tony focused on neck, shoulder, and low back therapy. We started using the new techniques the same day and received a lot of positive feedback from our customers.
