Are you stressed? Do you dread returning to work having had a nice relaxing weekend? Even though you are happy to have a job, it can be awfully stressful in the workplace.

In order to feel good, healthy, one must have proper energy flow, otherwise, problems such as stress, aches, pains and baldness may ensue!Have you ever had any type of massage?

Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue.Massage...more
