Healing Hands
It may sound indulgent but I have had weekly massages for more than 15 years. After I suffered a slipped disc (which I am convinced was from work stress), they helped me recover. I am lucky to have therapist Jeff Lenz come to my home weekly to relieve my chronic back pain.
For pampering, I go to the Grand Hyatt’s Plateau Spa for a lymphatic massage. I feel healthier and less bloated after one session. I also get regular, no-frills foot massages at Foot at 88 Queen’s Road Central, which benefits my sleep and lowers my blood pressure.
