HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]

Hand-y Work

October 26, 2007

Kinks in your shoulders from being hunched over your computer all day? Sore neck from holding your cellphone to your ear sans hands? Vancouver work bees, this is the week to convince your boss to make massage a regular part of your company’s corporate culture. In celebration of B.C.’s first annual Shiatsu Week, which runs to Oct. 27, the Shiatsu Massage Company is offering one free 15- or 20-minute chair massage with a booking of five or more Shiatsu sessions in the workplace. (Make sure the boss is one of the bookees so as to better ensure those magic fingers will be invited back every week.) Offer valid till Oct. 31. Your pleasure can also help the needy by booking on-site chair massage for the office staff from Redfern Bodyworks (604.915.9280). On Oct. 27, Joan Redfern is offering Shiatsu at a buck a minute, with half the proceeds going to the Vancouver Food Bank. For more fantastic offerings during Shiatsu Week, visit www.shiatsutherapybc.blogspot.com/.
