Stretching and Massage

So, as we say in our description we are not always out to reinvent the wheel. Let's be serious, this is a blog not a dissertation - we want you to learn a lot, over time, that you can add into your daily life. That being said, we had some help with our blog today. Below is an excellent video on daily stretching from a site that we utilize a lot - www.ehow.com.

As Terri Lynne explains in this series of videos, stretching is an important, and often forgotten, part of health and wellness. Stretching helps to keep muscles loose, increase blood flow an increase overall flexibility. As how stretching correlates to the massage world it is a great way to keep your body healthy. All too often we find clients who call us after their backs have given out, their carpel tunnel has flared up or calf muscle has tightened up to the point of where we are visiting them in their homes because they can barely walk. These are all ailments that can be addressed with stretching. Please don't get me wrong, continue to get your massage every 2-3 weeks and consult with us about wellness options...but remember to stretch your horizons as well!

Have a great day - Mind, Body and Soul,
Brandon

Growing E-Presence

Hello All,
Brandon here at MBS Massage. First, I wish everyone a wonderful Independence Day weekend. Don't eat too much!

I just wanted to let everyone know about what is new with MBS Massage. We are steadily growing our Internet and community presence. We have joined the Brandon, FL Chamber of Commerce (and for those not from here - no, I did not make up my own chamber). We are very excited for the possibilities that this thriving chamber provides us.
We also just opened our twitter account. You can find us at "mbsmassage" on twitter. It is a great way to see what is going on with us while on the move. Remember, we are real people, so feel free to tweet back - or hit us on our wall - or shoot us an e-mail - or comment on our blog. We love being a part of this community, and for us that also means being accessible.
Lastly, I wanted to offer up our Independence Weekend offer. Anyone booking an appointment between July 2 - July5 will automatically receive 20% off of their appointment. You can book an appointment at www.mbs-massage.com - just let us know what time and place works for you and we will work to make it happen.

Have a happy 4th - Mind, Body and Soul,
Brandon
