Our community was deeply effected by last night's storm! Unfortunately there was fatalities, livestock lost, houses and out buildings completey gone and so on.

As a business, I have the outreach to help these families with any financial burdens that will come with this.

Any donation you make will forever be appreciated and shares that can be made will reach more people and hopefully make that much more of an impact!

My name is Eva. I am the owner of Kneads of Balance in Sheldon, ND. On June 20th, 202… Eva Bouman needs your support for Tornado Relief for Sheldon & Enderlin

To all my amazing clients:

It has become clear to me just how much time for myself and my family I have been sacrificing to be available to provide services to as many of you as possible as I truly enjoy what I do.
I have been starting to diminish my evenings little by little and by mid to end of June, I plan to have little to no evenings of clients so that I can be home with my family more, doing things we as a family enjoy together.
Please understand this change is hard for me because like I said, I love this career. However, I love my family more and need to be able to spend more time with them than just the weekends.
I understand the inconvenience this may be for some of you, but I hope we will still see each other!

Not massage related, but for those of you that have been donating their pop tabs, here is an update! (My kids are in 6th and 8th grade).

"Pop Tab results are finally in! Thank you to everyone who brought in tabs to be donated to the Ronald McDonald House. Together, we collected almost 255 pounds, which is just over a quarter of a million pop tabs! This is our highest total to date! There were 4 grades that brought in impressive amounts of pop tabs and will all receive a reward! In 4th place, with 40 pounds 2.5 ounces is 2nd grade! In 3rd place with 40 pounds 12 ounces is 6th grade! In 2nd place with a little over 41 pounds, is 8th grade! And in first place, with over 53 pounds of pop tabs, is 5th grade! Way to go Eagles! "

If you want to donate "pop" tabs, I collect them all year at both offices and my kids take them to school either in Feb or March when the school does a contest to raise money for the Ronald McDonald house.

A few years ago, during a Continuing Ed class, we were all stunned to hear of the new research that was being done on applying ice to injuries considering that is what anyone and everyone has ever said or had been told for years! Here is a link to read more on it if you'd like.

"Based on the information presented here, we can not support the hypothesis that 'ice' is an appropriate treatment for supporting healing outcomes. Our information suggests that ice slows the cascade of physiological events, which are, in fact, responsible for optimal healing. We are aware that we’re challenging a prominent long-held belief by many, and further education is needed around this common misconception in and throughout the medical community moving forward."

"We encourage those to take personal responsibility to reach their communities and change this outdated narrative surrounding 'ice.'"

It's amazing what 10 minutes of massage can do to a shoulder.
I bet she's happy to have her neck back!

Here's a fun tid bit:
I had my grip strength tested yesterday.... I have 80 pound force in both my hands!

I was curious as to where I lay on the scale of things, so I had to Google what the average is. This is what Google says...

"Men
The average maximum grip force for men is 116 pound-force, and the average healthy grip strength is 72.6 pound-force.

Women
The average maximum grip force for women is 65.6 pound-force, and the average healthy grip strength is 44 pound-force."
