Oh, Hi Winter. Thanks for joining us.
If you aren’t totally stoked about the ice and snow, I get it. I manually shoveled the drive everyday this week! ❄️ If you are feeling it in your back and pecs, make a plan to get a massage this weekend while we get a break in the powder!

If a spot feels tender during your massage, try to take a breath in and out while it’s being worked on. If you feel like you have to hold your breath to protect yourself, then it’s time to back off the pressure and come at the spot a little differently. Speed and pressure together determine the intensity.

Anyone have a comment or position on Salem’s new plan to combat illicit fronts for human trafficking?

AMTA Oregon Chapter

What does having a city level licensing do that the state board licensing can’t?

Councilor Virginia Stapleton’s proposal to have Salem study a business licensing program passed on a 6-3 vote Monday. She said the measure was suggested by the FBI as a step to help combat human trafficking associated with illicit massage spas.
