Hot New Trend In Massage - Instant Relaxation at Your Door

Hot New Trend In Massage - Instant Relaxation at Your Door

Imagine a world where you can call an 800 number and have a certified massage therapist at your door within a few hours - similar to ordering a pizza, only a lot more relaxing and a lot healthier. Sound good? Well that world is now here.

(PRWEB) April 12, 2005

Feeling stressed? Well then imagine a world where you can just pick up the phone, call an 800 number, and get instant relaxation - a soothing, professional massage that would calm those cramped muscles caused from being stuck in traffic or sitting at a computer all day. No waiting. No planning. Just one phone call and a certified massage therapist would show up at your door within a few hours – kind of like ordering a pizza, only a lot more relaxing and a lot healthier. Sound good? Well that world is now here.

Geared toward people on the go, Go Massage is the place to call when you just canÂ’t wait to relax. Whether it's your home, hotel room, or office, they can deliver you the best massage therapists in your area - on the same day you call. But more than just immediate gratification, the company aims to revolutionize the rubdown by making relaxation more convenient and affordable for everyone - not just for those who go to fancy spas and seedy parlors.

They're also putting a whole new twist on the M word by giving it a face-lift. Sure they have traditional Swedish massage, but they also have Rock Your World, the Honeymooner, the Bomb, and many other tasty massage flavors to choose from.

Go Massage is just the latest trend in the massage boom. To quote one of their therapists, "Massage is no longer a luxury. It's a necessity." It crosses all demographics from business executives to students to athletic types to movie stars to kids. And while it used to be the kind of thing someone got once in a blue moon, it is now considered an added perk for film sets, rock bands, and corporate offices. Hard facts support this claim. Since 1997, the number of adult Americans who went to a massage therapist in the previous year has jumped from 8% to 21%, and for the first time, spa receipts surpassed those of amusement parks and topped U. S. box office grosses.

Massage also follows medication as the most sought-after form of pain relief: 33% for medication followed by 14% for massage therapy, and among alternative medicine practices surveyed, medical practitioners ranked massage therapy highest (74%) in terms of being effective. Soon enough, consumers will treat getting a massage just as they treat getting a haircut or working out at the gym.

With its popularity on the rise, the convenience, affordability, and style of Go Massage comes at an ideal time. So get ready to heal, California. Go Massage has got your back.

Fox Chase s Monica Morrow, M. D., chairman of surgery, is the grant leader. The award is designated for a future Fox Chase fellow to mentor and provide advance medical training.

The Komen Foundation established its Interdisciplinary Breast Fellowship program in 1998.

NASFT Goes Crackers For Mary's Gone Crackers

NASFT Goes Crackers For Mary's Gone Crackers

Mary's Gone Crackers has been chosen as a finalist in the Outstanding Cookie/Cracker category by The National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT).

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 2, 2006

The National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) has announced the 89 Finalists for the prestigious NASFT 2006 Product Awards Competition and Mary’s Gone Crackers has been chosen as a finalist in the Outstanding Cookie/Cracker category. The winner will be announced at the Summer Fancy Food Show in July at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York.

Mary’s Gone Crackers was founded by Mary Waldner and her husband Dale Rodrigues in 2000, but the real story goes back much farther than that. In 1994 Mary, an established psychotherapist in Northern California, discovered after a lengthy search, that her lifelong battle with digestive pain and fatigue was actually caused by an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and even most oats. Mary also discovered that she was not the only one that suffered from this inability to digest gluten, commonly referred to as Celiac Disease. In fact 1 out of 133 people suffer from Celiac Disease and 90-95% are not properly diagnosed.

In a quest to find something she could eat, Mary discovered that many of the gluten-free foods on the market back then not only lacked in taste, but also were often full of hydrogenated fats or other chemical additives. Looking for healthful alternatives, she began to experiment with her own recipes for the foods she most missed. She found success in creating tasty, healthful and gluten-free versions of cookies, brownies, muffins, pancakes, and other typically wheat based foods. However, going outside the confines of her kitchen proved to be extremely frustrating. All of the breads and crackers at restaurants and parties were off limits to her. Mary’s feeling of deprivation in social situations inspired her to develop her unique cracker recipe. She combined brown rice, quinoa, flax seeds and sesame seeds into a healthful, crunchy and satisfying cracker. Mary would bake small batches of the crackers by hand and take them with her.

As friends began eating her gluten-free crackers instead of the usual bread and chips that were out there (and then ask for more!) she knew she was onto something. By the time Mary's Gone Crackers was born, she had hand made well over 30,000 crackers.

In less than two years in the marketplace, Mary’s Gone Crackers has achieved nationwide distribution in over 3000 stores such as Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Wegman’s, and Raley’s, as well as many independent health food and specialty food stores.

"We are so excited and honored to be nominated for this award, especially since we are such a new company,” states Mary Waldner, CEO of Mary’s Gone Crackers. “We are thrilled at the response to Mary’s Gone Crackers and this recognition is very validating for our entire, hard working team," Mary adds.

About Mary’s Gone Crackers

Founded by Mary Waldner and her husband Dale Rodrigues in 2000, Mary’s began production and distribution of their gourmet crackers in August of 2004. Mary’s Gone Crackers will be moving into a state of the art, 50,000 square foot production facility located in Gridley, CA by the end of Spring 2006. The new facility is the first 100% dedicated wheat-free gluten-free and Certified Organic plant in the country. The crackers come in 5 flavors: Original, Caraway, Black Pepper, Onion and Herb. For distribution or sales information, please contact 925-258-1200. For all publicity inquires, contact Darren Jordan at 323.230.7379.

Providing Healthcare 24/7: Healthcare Organizations Enable Consumer Convenience

Providing Healthcare 24/7: Healthcare Organizations Enable Consumer Convenience

Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) August 16, 2005

Americans have long favored a culture of convenience. Consumers may not seek healthcare information and advice at the time it’s needed, further exacerbating their conditions. But with the advent of the Internet, healthcare organizations finally have a forum to give consumers what they want – convenient healthcare – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Capitalizing on infinite technological immediacy, organizations are incorporating Internet resources and telephonic coaching in their health plans to serve consumers without the wait. “Providing Healthcare 24/7: How Consumer-Driven Health Plans and Population Health Management are Meeting the Needs of Healthcare Consumerism,” a September 21, 2005 audio conference sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) discusses interactive tools and resources organizations can use to make consumers more informed participants in healthcare decisions.

“Aligning web technology with clinical and telephonic resources is a step forward for healthcare,” said Melanie Matthews, the executive vice president and chief operating officer of HIN. “It provides consumers with readily available tools and information they need to make better choices regarding their health,” she added.

During this 90-minute audio conference, expert panelists Hugh Lytle, president, Axia Health Management and Darren Schulte, director, clinical affairs and analytics, Resolution Health, Inc., offer step-by-step insight into how organizations can maximize these tools to most effectively serve the needs of todayÂ’s healthcare consumer.

Integrating telephonic and web-based applications; Driving adoption of tools; Providing the right tools to the right consumers to control costs; and Engaging consumers through consumer-driven healthcare plans.

This audio conference is scheduled for 1:30 p. m. to 3:00 p. m. Eastern time on September 21, 2005.

Is Buying a Niche Fitness Center or Gym Part of Your New Year?

Is Buying a Niche Fitness Center or Gym Part of Your New Year?

If you're like most Americans your New Year's resolutions include getting a better job and getting in shape. Buy a fitness center like curves and get both your physical and financial self shaped up. USABizMart lists existing Curves franchises and other fitness centers for sale.

San Ramon, CA (PRWEB) January 9, 2007

Weight loss and getting a better job top most people's list of New Year's resolutions. Why not buy an existing fitness center for sale (http://www. usabizmart. com/articles/3-article. php) and get both? USABizMart lists thousands of small businesses, including fitness clubs.

Perhaps the universal New Year's resolution is to lose weight or get into shape. That's what makes January through April the busiest time of year for gyms. "People set new goals to get in shape starting in January. Then closer to summer they get nervous about not fitting into their swimsuit," said Rosemarie Evan, owner of four Curves franchises in California said. It also makes it an ideal time to buy a fitness center (http://www. usabizmart. com/keyword. php). That's exactly what Evans did.

There wasn't a Curves franchise in California (http://www. usabizmart. com/businesses/california/california-state. php) close to where Evans lives, so she opened four. As a small business owner she not only works out every morning, but she encourages and motivates other women to achieve better health. Curves, based in Texas has over 9,000-units and offers 30-minute circuit workouts for women only.

The ideal owner of a Curves franchise likes to motivate and inspire women to reach their potential. They educate women and encourage them to take care of their health. Each club becomes a community of women who give to and support each other. Curves franchises exist around the country. Most Curves franchises are sold out, so there are many opportunities to buy an existing Curves franchise (http://www. usabizmart. com/searchadvanced. php) for sale.

Curves caters to women over 45, and is just one example of niche fitness centers for sale across the country. In recent years lady fitness clubs, circuit training centers for men, fitness clubs for kids, yoga or Pilates-only centers, and other specialized gyms have opened. These smaller, niche gyms are appealing to small business owners. The benefit is a lower purchase price, less square footage, and less inventory, which makes them costly than large gyms to buy and operate.

Smaller, more specialized gyms are a continuing trend. Like Curves they target a specific demographic, location, cost, or group. They may be neighborhood gyms located in the suburbs or be low cost gyms with no frills.

Another New Year's resolution is to get a better job. Sometimes the ideal job isn't found, it's created. People who are tired of corporate America, or who have lost their jobs make ideal candidates for "buying a job". Whatever your motivation, find a Curves for sale or other niche gym for sale and make this a year of financial and physical fitness.
