Happy Motivational Monday!

Think about this...
1)When you get sick, you need a Dr visit and medicine, which costs money
2)When you get sick, you need to stay home and not work, which costs money
3)When you get sick, people around you can catch your sickness, and 1&2 goes for them as well

Today's employee feature
Denise Deangelo, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist

Denise DeAngelo is a practicing massage therapist with 10 years of experience. She received her New York College of Health Professional license in May 2013.

Denise’s education and understanding of the human body in therapeutic massage allow her to assess and identify each person’s problem areas and the source of their pain. Whether pain is caused by an accident or from everyday overuse, using a combination of myofascial release, stretching, and/or cupping helps to reduce and relieve pain, and tension, and increase mobility.

In addition to massage therapy, Denies also has five years of experience with manual lymph drainage massage which helps to gently remove painful swelling in limbs and underarms caused by breast cancer surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and lymphedema. Lymph drainage massage is known to improve circulation and reduce leg swelling caused by various conditions including but not limited to cardiac, surgical, and diabetic issues.

Over Denise’s more than 10 years of practice, she has had the privilege of helping people feel better and has had the pleasure of forming wonderful relationships with my many repeat clients. Through her caring and dedicated service, she has become a well-liked and respected practitioner in our practice.

Denise works Monday and Thursday's 6pm- 9 pm
