I would like to share a moment in the life of Riverside Massage. The other day i had a client who was ecstatic - and amazed after just one treatment became pain free. Referred for arm pain which extended to the wrist, creating problems sleeping, reaching for things and enjoyment in life, I was able to release the tissue to create a huge smile- that made my day. I would like to thank Denise Stewart for her tuition and guidance that has enabled such an awesome thing to happen.
I have been viewing some of the presentations from the Breast cancer & Rehab Summit made possible and facilitated by Denise Stewart. The quality of what i have seen so far is outstanding. if you are interested in viewing, click on the logo under Resources found on my "About" page.
