"The
consistently wonderful massages and cozy, quiet atmosphere are what
really make Riverbend such a
special
place. The tea and home-baked cookies are an added treat I look forward
to also. A visit to Riverbend is the perfect remedy for a stressful
work week. It's my ideal destination for some well-earned pampering
and healing. When I leave your "peaceful place beside the river I feel like a new person!"
Noelle Butkus, Farmington
"I started receiving chair massages from Barbara, at work, over
7 years ago. Five years ago I was diagnosed with TMJ (a condition caused
by stress which resulted in my grinding my teeth and experiencing constant
ringing in my ears.) My options were to undergo surgery or find ways
to reduce the stress in my life. I now receive 1 ¼ hour long
massages at Riverbend several times per month. It keeps the TMJ symptoms
at bay and is a most pleasant way to "de-stress" after a demanding
week at work. Best of all, I've been able to avoid the surgery. Thanks,
Barb."
J. Talley, Rocky Hill
"I suffer from tension headaches. Having my neck and shoulders
massaged on a regular basis helps reduce the number and severity of
my headaches. My company offers a health care reimbursement account
program which allows me to pay for my 15-minute stress reduction massages,
provided by Riverbend therapists right on the job, with pre-tax dollars.
All I needed was a letter or medical necessity from my primary care
physician to make my massage therapy
expenses reimbursable."
