Massage Extraordinaire's Clients of the Month - October 2014 Leslie & Karl Bunker We would like to introduce Leslie and Karl Bunker,  who we are happy to feature  as our  October massage clients of the month! They have been receiving massages for more than 25 years.   Their philosophy on massage  is to get massages early and often  with  someone who knows the right way  to take care of you.   They almost always get massages to relax,  but invariably they have  aches and pains  that need to be worked on as well. "We love the personal touch we get at Massage Extraordinaire.   The therapists know us by name and know exactly how we like our massages.   We feel like part of the family every time we come in because we get  to  catch up  on what is going on in each others' lives." Both Leslie and Karl play golf and kayak.  Karl also rides his road bicycle. They both are enjoying their early retirement with lots of travel and   lots of volunteer work

Meet our Extraordinary Client of the Month STEVE MARING - STEVE & MASSAGE -        Steve has routinely been receiving massages since 2005.  He has been going to Marsha for massages for about 9 years.  His  first massage was a gift from his wife in 2005 (a package of 6). In fact, this last Christmas his wife got him a package of 4 massages. Steve's response, "You can't go wrong with that!" Why do you get massages? Being honest, I primarily get massages because they feel so darn good.  But I also have find them to be very good health care for my sometimes bad posture in front of the computer, as well as sore muscles after tough workouts.  Regardless, I always feel better after a massage than before.  Always! Marsha always starts off with "so tell me about your body."  She tailors her massage to meet my needs.   Marsha is incredible, as is the rest of her staff.  I consider her a kind of a sports doctor.   It's also cool to tell m
