Pampering is Therapeutic!!

Is your body taking a beating from you? Time for a "time-out". Time to plan for a pampering session. Try a therapeutic massage. Believe it or not, most massages are inexpensive. Getting an hour long, full body, swedish massage will run you approximately between $50-$60 from a licensed therapist. If you are on a budget, try a local massage school (a student or graduate needing more practice hours) and your cost may be $25-$30. Below lists the physical and mental benefits of massage therapy:
