Aristotle and other ancient Greek philosophers and scientists thought the heart was a lot of things: the seat of thought, reason, emotion or the soul. Today we know the heart is a vital organ that distributes blood throughout our bodies. A healthy heart is a symbol of fitness and wellness, but also love and affection.

February is American Heart Month and one way to support heart health is to get massages regularly. Basic massage strokes stimulate receptors that cause overall relaxation, including widening of the blood vessels. This results in a lower heart rate and a lower blood pressure, both good for the heart.

Next week is Valentine’s Day. Why not treat your heart – and that special someone – to a couple’s massage?

Men have discovered that not only does it feel good to look good, but it can mean a boost to their overall health and wellness. Pedicures provide all of these benefits. In fact, according to an article from AARP, men overall are finding that professional pedicures make their feet feel better. Older men in particular find that having someone else do the grooming helps as bending down gets harder to do. Serious runners also find that well-cared for feet do better during rigorous training and competition.

Pedicures offer numerous benefits to men and women:

• Stress relief. Pedicures include a mini foot massage that is relaxing and good for circulation.
• Exfoliate. Removing dead skin cells helps to reduce calluses.
• Encourage healthy cuticles. Grooming helps prevent hang nails, which can be painful and unsightly.
• Discourage ingrown toenails. Keeping nails trimmed and shaped promotes proper growth.
• Make your feet more pleasurable to touch. Your significant other will know that you care!

At Tranquility Mind & Body Wellness Spa, our Gentleman’s Spa services are designed to make you feel good and look good from top to bottom. Our trained technicians will trim and buff your nails, remove cuticles, give you an exfoliating scrub and provide a foot massage that will leave you less stressed and your feet feeling great.

Valentine’s Day is approaching. Why not give your loved one a gift certificate for a relaxing manicure and pedicure?

We provide a full array of services to make you look and feel your best. Please visit our website to see our offerings. Remember, our Buy 5 Get One Free Special is still on!

Fibromyalgia is a common chronic condition that, according to an article in USA Today, afflicts up to 10 million people in the U.S., most of them women. The symptoms are widespread pain and extreme fatigue, as well as poor sleep, tingling and memory issues. There is no known cause or cure, and it is not an easy disorder to diagnosis.

However, an article in the New York Times talks about an exciting area of research in treating fibromyalgia - complementary and alternative medicine. The article suggests that by working with your care team, you may be able to find a new combination of approaches that fit your lifestyle and address your unique needs. For example, this could mean, “taking your prescribed medication while adding in a massage once a week.”

At Tranquility Mind & Body Wellness Spa, our 30-minute fibromyalgia massage is a safe and effective alternative method that provides an extremely gentle massage therapy for all levels. Our certified therapists provide gentle strokes, light stretching and manipulation of hot stones on tender points, relieving pain, fatigue and anxiety.

Whether you are being treated for fibromyalgia or simply want to feel your best, our new membership program makes it affordable to get the continuous benefits of massage:

• Members receive an award winning massage every month for just $69.
• For $31 more you can add unlimited yoga to your membership. We offer classes for all levels.
• We also offer other spa services, such as holistic healing, including reflexology, reiki chakra balancing and hot stone massage.

We want to be a part of your care team and a resource for your health and wellness needs. Please visit our website to see our full array of offerings.
