New Fairview Clinic Opening April 3, 2013…Win FREE Massage for a Year

Yup we have our new painPRO Fairview Clinic opening at 1206-750 West Broadway in Vancouver. (Broadway/ Willow) This will be our new state of the art Massage Therapy Clinic offering digital postural assessments, electronic transfer of invoices (we want to go green), digital HD pictures of trigger point patterns, digital muscle pictures to show you exactly were your pain problems are, stretching videos, and we have installed a state of the art music system so you can play your own music off any Wi-Fi enabled device…like your smart phone. We want to take your massage experience to the next level.

As we were hibernating during our glorious Vancouver winter we were thinking how to best celebrate the coming of spring. We thought why not open a new Massage Therapy clinic and bring back our FREE Massage Therapy for a Year draw…but with a twist. The twist is that we want to give you more chances to win. So here is what we will do for the month of April 2013:

  1.  Each Massage Therapy appointment at our new Fairview Clinic will get you two ballots into the draw
  2. Each Massage Therapy Appointment at our Coal Harbour or Business District location will get you one ballot into the draw
  3. “Like” us on Facebook and receive one ballot into the draw. Click Facebook Icon and go directly to our page.
  4. Refer a new client and you will get one ballot into the draw (just make sure they tell us you sent them)
So we better nail down what FREE Massage Therapy for a Year entails. The winner will receive one 30 minute massage therapy session each month for twelve months. This is a $819 prize (no cash value) to be used towards massage therapy treatments at any of our painPRO Clinics with any of our painPRO Therapists. We will actually load your Loyalty account with $819 and you can indulge yourself until it’s all gone. Yes you can even book 45 and 60 minute treatments and use your Loyalty $$ towards the cost.

FREE Massage Therapy Winner for August

Congratulations goes to James Greenwood for winning the August draw for FREE Massage Therapy for a Year. Can you spell H-A-P-P-Y! After awarding James over $800 in free massage we decided that we wanted to help more people win FREE massage therapy. So starting Monday August 27, 2012 we will be drawing for a FREE 45 minute massage treatment every week. Just one more reason for you to experience “the painPRO Difference”.

 

Massage Therapy Pressure more Important than Massage Treatment Duration

Research by Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provides validation that a deep pressure massage is more important to better treatment outcomes. The Ohio State study also goes on to say that the duration of the massage is less important than the amount of pressure applied during the massage treatment. The science behind this relates to the fact that massage therapy helps reduce inflammation, improves enzyme production for muscle and facia repair, and helps break up old fascial adhesions caused by injury. So by receiving a deep tissue massage from a massage therapist the deeper fascial layers of your body can be reached thus stimulation a faster recovery and improving athletic performance.

At painPRO Clinics we consistently try to educate our clients that a shorter massage when done properly can improve your recovery time, improve athletic performance, and save you money at the same time. The important thing to remember is that one massage isn’t always going to do the trick. Many people assume that most massage therapy treatments need to be 60 minutes long. We now have proof that a well trained RMT can be more effective when treatments times are shortened and massage frequency increased.
