Deana Briggs, licensed massage therapist and owner of D’s Therapeutic Massage & Spa, kicks persistent aches and pains curbside with 55-minute full-body Swedish massages. Specializing in the treatment of fibromyalgia, Deana soothes rancorous muscles with the Swedish modality’s quartet of long, flowing strokes that, when studied in super-slow motion, invisibly write out the world’s greatest meatball recipe. Customizing each treatment to a client’s needs, the skilled people pamperer delivers smooth, gliding strokes to ease overworked muscles and promote relaxation. An effective treatment for stress reduction and the improvement of blood circulation, Swedish massage also relieves anxiety, depression, and trauma resulting from having a quarter painfully extracted from an ear by a street magician.
