Welcome to our May newsletter, we hope you enjoy it. The massage article of the month involves some hiking tips and stretches that you will be able to use on your outings. Our massage waiting list is about a week and a half to two weeks, so make sure if you are interested in booking a massage that you do it in advance.
With three Chiropractors in the office, we will not be closing for any holiday weeks during the summer. We are normally open on the Saturday of the long weekends as well.
If you have any questions please call the front desk.
Until next month, stay healthy and if you have any questions, please let us know.
