And the best part? It only takes seconds. Literally.

666 Formula:�6 Reps�6 Seconds Each�6 Times a Day

👉 How to Do It (Step-by-Step):
1️⃣ Stand with your feet parallel, directly under your hips.�2️⃣ Make a fist with your thumb inside on both hands.�3️⃣ Keep arms at your side and slowly rotate your arms outward to open your chest.�4️⃣ With eyes open, bring your chin down to your chest.�5️⃣ Keeping chin down, tuck the chin upward by lifting from the back of the neck (tiny movement). Eyes should stay looking toward the floor.�6️⃣ Breathe and hold for 6 seconds.�7️⃣ Release your hands only, bring your head back to neutral, and repeat 5 more times.

That’s it—simple, quick, and way less scary than it sounds. In other words, it’s not the sign of the devil … it’s the sign of relief !

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
From Garage Sale to Japantown: The Massage Garage Rolls Into San Francisco’s Wellness Scene
San Francisco, CA — [August 18, 2026] — In true Bay Area fashion, another business success story started in a garage. But this one wasn’t about coding or tech startups — it was about massage.
Back in 2009, San Franciscan Gary Mendelson had just graduated from the National Holistic Institute for Massage and was looking for a way to share his new craft. On the day of the city’s legendary Bay to Breakers race, Mendelson opened up his garage, set out a massage table, and invited tired participants streaming out of Golden Gate Park to stop by for some much-needed relief.
“It was the perfect day for a garage sale,” Mendelson laughs. “Not just to clear out the boxes and clutter that were weighing me down, but to make space for something new. That’s when it hit me — massage is the same way. We help people let go of the stress and tension weighing them down so they can move freely again. I looked at my sign that said ‘Garage and Massage Sale’ and realized: that’s it. The Massage Garage.”
Fast-forward to today, and The Massage Garage is thriving in its permanent home in San Francisco’s Japantown at 1801 Bush Street, Suite 131A. True to its roots, the business specializes not just in relaxation, but in restorative and preventative care for every body — from Olympian athletes to office athletes.
Mendelson and his team use a range of modalities including neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy, radial shock wave therapy, and more, all designed to keep bodies moving, performing, and recovering at their best. Beyond treatment, The Massage Garage is committed to health education, empowering clients to take an active role in their long-term wellness.
“Whether it’s a runner fresh off the course or someone who’s been sitting at a desk all week, our goal is the same,” Mendelson says. “To clear out the tension, restore balance, and help people feel lighter, stronger, and ready for what’s next.”
The Massage Garage may have started as a quirky idea on Bay to Breakers day, but it has grown into a trusted San Francisco destination for therapeutic massage and whole-body care.
