UPTOWN MASSAGE: NEW THERAPY, NEW NAME

Certified Massage Therapist Kelly Fairbank, recently returned from a Myofascial Release Workshop, in Savannah, Ga. She is excited to share her new technique which is a highly effective, yet gentle way to deal with muscular tension and dysfunction.

"It doesn't make a lot of sense to break up the muscle tissue without first releasing the connective tissue that surrounds it," said Fairbank, "I feel this work will not only help those with tight shoulders and low back tension, but also people who suffer with tension headaches and fibromyalgia."

Uptown Massage was previously named East West Bodywork. You can visit her website kellyfairbank.massagetherapy.comfor more information on massage and local yoga classes.
