Late April Special


It's almost the end of April 2008 and you still haven't come in for a massage...tsk, tsk!  You know you need some massage therapy and I know you need some massage therapy.  I'm gonna make it an offer you can refuse.  Make your appointment for a 1 hour massage on Wednesday April 30th and get 1 1/4 hours at the 1 hour price.  Yes, an extra quarter of an hour of massage for nothing, nada, zilch, zip, etc.  And, it's only for one day.

This offer is available to both new and returning clients, but you MUST MENTION this offer at the time you make the appointment.  It is absolutely NOT valid if mentioned at any other time (like the end of the massage).  One more time...YOU MUST MENTION THIS OFFER WHEN YOU MAKE THE APPOINTMENT.  I will not feel sorry for you and give you the extra time if you do it any other time.

Also, since this is just for one day, appointments are few.  Make your appointment as soon as you see this or you may miss out.  Call me at my Massage By Ben office number in San Antonio, Texas to make your appointment 210-269-3314

Music For Massage

I'm frequently asked by massage therapy students, other massage therapists, and even clients what music I like to use during relaxation/stress reduction massage sessions. The first part of my answer to the question is that I use music the client likes to relax with. I have clients that love to listen to classical music like Mozart's violin concertos and some that listen to classic rock such as AC/DC. Another has been known to enjoy listening to Frank Sinatra during one session and Irish drinking songs during another. However, many clients have no real preference and leave it to me to ...<< MORE >>
