Body Shoppe in Brush adds new massage therapist Fort Morgan Times
The atmosphere of The Body Shoppe in Brush offers clients a mixture of soothing colors, relaxing music, a hint of feminine décor and a new massage therapist.Wiggins resident Jaime Rivera began her new position at the spa Sept. 30.
"I'm enjoying it," she said. "I heard Kendra (Felzien, who owns the business) could use help, so I gave her a call. I like it. "
With two massage therapists available now, the business will be able to serve more clients at one time.
Rivera will provide deep tissue and localized pain relief massages, and Felzien will continue to offer hot stone, reflexology, deep tissue and pre-natal massages.
The business is located at 1224 Edison St.
Rivera has been a massage therapist since 2006.
"I have a passion for helping others," she said, "what better way than a massage."
Rivera lives in Wiggins with her husband, Sergio and their 8-month-old daughter, Jordan.
"I love spending time with family," she said. "We also love stand-up comedy."

How often do I have to have a deep tissue massage?
I've been having some upper back pain/tension by my left shoulder blade lately. I've noticed that the pain is most aggravated by me sitting at the computer all day at work. I went in today & got a deep tissue massage & she worked the heck out of it but it still seems like I'll have to go back. My question is: How long can I expect to have to go to the massage therapist until I am better?
Your solution can be simple with a little concerted effort for change. More than likely your all day, in a chair, in front of a computer posture is your chronic, primary cause. Add a little stress from whatever, a little dehydration from caffeine, alcohol, lack of sleep, over-exertion or whatever, and you have a recipe for long-term problems. The massage therapist, if trained well enough, should know that the upper back and shoulder tension is a result of your chronic, daily posture. Massage done to the muscles in the upper back will probably have limited results unless you challenge your postural habits. I'll try to make this brief, but sensible at the same time. Many office employees force themselves into our ever popular "institutionalized position" of sitting, with head, neck, arms and shoulders in a 'forward' holding pattern. What this does is shorten all the muscles in the anterior thoracic region (abdominals, pectoralis major & minor, anterior deltoid, biceps, scalenes & sternocleidomastoid; go ahead and look these up to know where they are). As these muscles shorten, they create an opposite affect on the muscles of upper and lower back, posterior shoulders & posterior neck: lengthening, fatiguing and in essence overworking and 'cramping' these muscles. Your symptom is tight upper back. More than likely your cause is too short of muscles in the chest, anterior shoulder, biceps and anterior neck. Your muscles in your upper back are more than likely tight because they are already overstretched. [I know, it is opposite of what you would normally think]. This is why stretching of the upper back has limited results because you are trying to stretch and already overstretched set of muscles. For some complementary results to your massages, you need to do daily stretches for your chest, anterior neck, biceps and abdominals to balance your posture again. If you are spending 8 hours a day training your anterior muscles to be short, then you need to balance that with movements, stretches and strengthening in the opposite direction. Ask your MT to work on your pecs, biceps, scalenes, abdominals and diaphram, along with the attention to the upper back. If she seems puzzled by this request, or is unable to follow through, then find someone who is better trained to address these issues. It will save you time, money and frustration as weeks and months go by. Best wishes

Has anyone ever heard of a deep tissue massage inducing a rash?
I went for a deep tissue massage because I have been extremely stressed lately, and suffering from major muscle and joint pain.
The massage was great, but the next day I woke up with a red, itchy burning mild rash on my neck and upper chest area.
I know massages can release toxins, just wondering if the rash is a result of that.
It can either be from the toxins released from the fat break up and circulation of lymphatic fluids, allergy to the other person's skin oil, or the massaging oil/product, or inflammation reaction to the deep tissue.
Keep drinking water and put ice on the area for 20 mins on and 40 mins off to calm it down.
where can i find a massage therapist in puerto vallarta who does deep tissue therapeutic massage?
I was in a car accident and have whiplash injuries. I need to find a good deep tissue massage therapist. There are a lot of massage therapists here for relaxation, but I haven't found one who does therapeutic deep tissue massage.
Check out really nice vacation hotels/spas.

Marathoners: Will a deep tissue massage prior to the race help or hurt your performance?
My husband is a very fast competitive marathoner. His birthday is coming up on the 25th, and I'm thinking of taking him to a B&B with a spa and get him a deep tissue massage. The problem is, he has a marathon on the 29th that he's been preparing for all season. Will the massage cause him a problem? Going for the massage after the race isn't really an option because the spa is not in our area.
It depends on the qualifications of the massage therapist. They need to be trained in how to affect the muscles positively. You wouldn't want to loosen tight muscles that are tight to improve his running time, even if that "feels" good. It can be extremely beneficial if the therapist is trained in sports massage. I think that your husband would appreciate the massage much more after the marathon. Again, the therapist should be trained in how to assist in healing the affected muscles from that sport. If in doubt, he should skip the pre marathon massage. Perhaps a simple relaxing massage instead of deep tissue. That should not effect his muscles as much as the deep tissue.
It is very thoughtful of you to think of that, though.
Good Luck
Has anyone died from getting a deep tissue massage which resulted in releasing toxins?
I heard someone died because of "sugar storage" in deposits after getting a deep tissue massage. Could this possibly be true?
No. Sugar is stored in the liver then converted to fat....quickly. There are no sugar deposits. If they massaged a person so hard that they squished his liver, that would be the cause of death. Not phantom sugar deposits.
Where is the best Swedish/Deep Tissue Massage Spa in Virginia Beach? Any suggestions?
Looking for a place that does full body swedish/deep tissue massage. Nothing dirty, just looking to de-stress on a grand scale.
Massage therapy schools just won't give you the best massage. These are new students, *almost* ready to work at a real, paying job.
Check out this link: http://massagetherapy.com/home/index.php
The therapists listed on this site have met the stringent requirements of ABMP and their state, if applicable. It will be up to you to further research their qualifications. That being said, you could also find an Aveda Salon as these salons are also often day spas.

Numbness in foot after deep tissue massage?
I went and got a deep tissue massage and a day later, I got a numbness that is sort of tingling in one specific area of my foot. I have had this numbness for 3 months now. What is going on?
I would seek the advice of a medical physician. The massage may have revealed a condition that may have already been present. An initial concern might be a deep vein thrombosis or a DVT (a blood clot in a deep vein of the leg). Another concern may be the vulnerability of the nerves of the legs or feet due to a number of conditions that affect the nervous system. Hopefully your physician can help you sort this out. 3 months is significant enough time to follow-up with it.
Otherwise you are going to continue to have damage.
Get checked for diabetes, man. This could be your life at risk.
Anyone ever had a deep tissue massage?
I met someone that is a director to a massage institute and she is going to perform a deep tissue massage tomorrow. I told her my story about being in a car accident (got whip lash) a couple years ago and not even physical therapy helped my neck and shoulder pain, really. (Just relieved it temporarily). It still hurts all the time. So, she says she knows how to get to the points that need to be released. What does she mean by that and do you think it will help to do this?
A deep tissue massage can be somewhat irritating, but in the end it makes the muscles very relaxed......just remember not to tense up while she is massaging or it may hurt.
If it is uncomfortable, take a deep breath and slowly exhale as she applies the pressure.
Can a deep-tissue massage during pregnancy hurt your baby?
I know that when you get a massage where they work the knots out of your muscles, it releases toxins into your bloodstream. One can even get nauseous after a massage and you are advised to drink lots of water to wash it out of your system. What do you think?
By the way, I'm not pregnant, just curious.
Im not sure either but i have heard that you cant and allot of spas do special pregnancy massages so that to me suggests that maybe you cant have th regular ones
What is the difference between a sweedish massage and a deep tissue massage?
