s the stress and strain getting you down? Stiff neck? Tight muscles? Not enough hours in the day? Sound familiar? All that technology was supposed to make things easier, right? Well, maybe. But it also has produced seemingly non-stop messages that arrive in enormous numbers via email, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Linked-in, etc., etc., and whatever the latest new high tech means of communication produces. For even the most technologically gifted and dedicated, it can sometimes be just too much! Caring Touch A little time for quiet can do wonders, and the handson benefits of massage have been known for centuries. Soothing tired or aching muscles, head and back aches, stiff necks, and the like are major benefits, and massage can also be a great stress reliever. An hour of
quiet serenity can often reduce the anxiety and worry over that ever present “To Do” list. “One of my clients says she is so grateful for the loving, caring, touch of massage. It’s her time for relaxation and meditation,” says Zhanna Root, owner with Max Chernyshov of Ultimum Vitae Wellness Center at 264 Nassau Street. Opened in April, it offers a range of services, including massage therapy, nutrition, and fitness. “We are establishing a wellness program, with the services of a nutritionist, chiropractor, and fitness exper t,” explains Zhanna, who is a licensed massage therapist in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, with additional training in anatomy and pathology. “Over the years, I have seen that one approach is not enough. You need to eat right and exercise too. We will also offer a meditation program on Tuesday
and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8:30.” Zhanna notes that “present time consciousness” or being in the moment is not only beneficial to her clients when they are experiencing a massage but also for her. “Giving a massage benefits me too. When I am giving a massage, I have to be present, be in the moment. I am totally ‘there’ in that moment.” Optimal Functioning Deep tissue massage is Zhanna’s specialty, and this can help clients in a variety of ways, she explains. “This is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It can help relieve certain common physical problems and bring the body back to optimal functioning. It helps with whatever problem they have, including restoring muscle balance, and helps clients get in touch with their body and build their muscles. I
HANDS-ON-HELP: “Major benefits of massage therapy include pain relief, such as headache and jaw pain, and help for tight neck muscles. It can also release tension and create relaxation. We love to see people improve and get better.” Max Chernyshov and Zhanna Root, owners of Ultimum Vitae Wellness Center, look forward to introducing clients to their new wellness program. Clients in a hurry can also enjoy a beneficial 15-minute chair massage (chairs shown at right).
