Similar to past tenses, tense backs are related to things that happened a while ago and are incomprehensible to most 5-year-olds. Brush up on the basics of back bliss with today’s Groupon to Ahhhmmm Massage Therapy in Thousand Oaks. Choose between two options:

Ahhhmmm’s owner and operator Heather Karr created the technique and equipment of golf ball massage to better perform deep-tissue massage. The method takes advantage of a golf ball’s unique shape and size, useful for targeting hard-to-reach muscles, especially those with PGA memberships. A licensed massage therapist certified in six types of massage and graced with pain-detecting auditory senses, Karr uses her SPAball Kaddy to guide a ball’s surface and perform deep-kneading and cross-fiber techniques with more control. The method lets therapists apply extra pressure to trouble spots to relieve aches, pains, and spasms and to help clients completely forget the IRS exists. For the traditional approach, Karr’s firm yet gentle Swedish massage relaxes muscles and eases tension while improving circulation.

Karr also invented a personal Kaddyback for home or coffee shop use and she was featured last year on the CBS show The Doctors.
