TOUCH—SIMPLE OR SENSUAL-IS BENEFICIAL

PHOENIX -Many health doctors have claimed that touch therapy, such as massage, can help decrease the body's level of stress and help increase the level of endorphins. Some studies have shown that massage, for example, can alleviate certain medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, depression and fibromyalgia, to name a few.

Further, studies show that if the touch therapy comes from someone you have a positive bond with, the recipient gets an enhanced emotional experience of a greater sense of love and security.

Well, Suddenly Slimmer Day Spa in Phoenix offers all the health benefits of "touch therapy," as well as its emotional benefits, in their Educational Massage package and their Couples Massage package.

In the Educational Massage package, clients will have the opportunity to learn and share from a licensed therapist the different massage techniques that you and your partner might enjoy. The licensed therapist will demonstrate simple massage techniques and explain to clients the benefits of certain massage techniques. After a guided massage session, clients will get the chance to apply what they've learned to their partners. The class lasts a little over an hour and a half and is designed for you and your partner to learn from and enjoy. The cost of the session for two people is $400-surely beats the cost of massage therapy school, and is more fun and personal.

The Couples Massage package is another relaxing treat for you and your partner. Couples will enjoy the relaxing Bliss Couples Massage in Suddenly Slimmer's Zen-style room fit for two people. To enhance the treatment, Suddenly Slimmer suggests ending the session with an invigorating infrared sauna treatment, a heat therapy that uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally. The cost of the package for two people ranges from $130-$260, depending on the amount of time.

A licensed massage therapist would be happy to give a demonstration of a couples massage and discuss the different benefits of massage therapy. For more information, please call Jeannie Marcelino at 602-770-1590
