Massage Therapy by Laura at Salon/Spa 5 has helped me immensely! I am posting this in case there is someone out there like me who can benefit like I did. Also because I would like to publicly THANK Laura. In the early 90?s I suffered from connective tissue disease, an autoimmune disease where my immune system attacked my joints. My disease has been in remission for over 15 years, thank God, but my body still had remnants of stiffness. I used to go for massage with Laura at Salon /Spa5 every couple of months or so. A few months ago Laura suggested intensive treatment. She said she could work on my muscles which are attached to my connective tissues, and if done in successive frequent sessions, I could see results due to muscle memory. I am a skeptic by nature, but trusted Laura because of her medical background- she had medical training prior to coming to the US. I decided to try it. I immediately saw results which prompted me to contact my rheumatologist. He confirmed that the massage treatment could indeed help me and gave me a prescription. I knew it was effective because I felt so much better even going up and down the stairs in my townhome. However, if there was even the slightest of doubt, it got erased the minute I went on the tennis court. I was stunned!! I had not played this way in over 15 years. I could move around without feeling like I was carrying weights. I truly felt like 20 years were shed off of me. Laura was right, the muscles do have memory- I feel blessed that I continue to feel terrific! Laura thank you - thank you- thank you!! Joanna Z ? Fort Lee, N. J.
