Take Care of Dad this Father’s Day

DES MOINES, Iowa - May 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Dad worked long hours, taught you to play catch, took you on your first fishing trip and spent hours helping with homework. Dad is always taking care of everyone else so this Father’s Day take care of him with a gift card for a therapeutic massage or facial from Massage Heights, a leader of professional, affordable and convenient therapeutic massage and facial services.

You think of dad as tough and hardworking but there are times when he just needs a break; a break he won't give himself but that is essential to giving his body and mind a reprieve from the stresses of everyday life. "Sometimes dad’s nerves of steel need to rest and recover. The nervous system is very complex, as sensory impulses are received internally through organs or externally through the five senses, specifically touch. These impulses are sent back to the brain; then the body’s reaction back to the organs, glands, and muscles,” said Daniel Jaramillo, LMT and Director of Industry Relations for Massage Heights. “The nervous system controls both the hormonal glands and the nerve network, so we must maintain it. Your body's command central station is effected through massage therapy and that’s powerful medicine!" Ongoing research continues to support the numerous benefits of regular therapeutic massage which, when incorporated into an overall health regimen, can help achieve balance.

Not unlike massage therapy, skin therapy offers a variety of health benefits. “Don’t let dad forget about the health of his skin this Father’s Day! Buy him a gift card for an introductory facial. Healthy on the outside is healthy on the inside,” said Katherine Palmer, LST/Licensed Instructor, Skin Therapy Operations Specialist for Massage Heights.

Also, at participating nationwide Retreat locations you can purchase three gift cards and get one free(minimum purchase of three $50 gift cards to receive special offer; prices may vary per region, see Retreat for details.), good for therapeutic services, memberships and all-natural products.

Massage Heights offers a variety of custom massage modalities, including Deep Tissue, Swedish, Sports Therapy, Prenatal and Reflexology, as well as custom dermalogica® skin treatments, including Anti-Aging, Sensitive Skin, Clear Skin and Brightening. Therapeutic experience-enhancing add-on services called “Elevations” include a Reviving Foot Scrub, Revitalizing Face Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Active Therapy, Skin Enriching, Skin Refining, Skin Purifying and all-natural aromatherapy.
