For golfers, the mind-body connection is one of the most important factors to compete at a high level. The movement of a golf swing requires great flexibility and full extension of most of the major muscle groups. With that in mind, the Phoenix Salon & Spa now offers a massage catered to golfers. Massage tones muscles and increases overall flexibility by increasing blood flow to the muscles, ligaments and tendons. In turn, this allows the joints to experience a smooth, full range of movement. Another significant benefit of this massage is the decline of injuries caused by the repetitive motions of a golf swing by allowing a more natural movement of the ten areas most prone to golf-related injury—the lower back, wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, neck, hip, ribs, ankle and foot. The primary goal of this specialized massage is to get you on the table before an injury occurs, thus allowing you to stay injury free and improve your overall enjoyment of the game. The massage technique differs from traditional massage in many ways. During the 90 to 120 minute session, not only is bodywork performed in the normal face-up and face- down fashion, but also along both sides of the body. This allows the therapist to work deeper on the major muscle groups to achieve full mobility of all joints. Whether you play three times a week once a month, the Phoenix Golfer’s Massage will help you stay pain free and play at the top of your game!

Phoenix Hairball Win featured in American Salon Magazine!

2009-01-22T07:29:00.000-08:00

Editor’s Note: Welcome to the Jungle

“When it comes to fundraising, nobody does it better or with more gusto than City of Hope’s Harry Giordano, senior director of development, Northeast region. For the past 12 years, he’s asked salons in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia to become involved in HopeCuts, a program in which stylists donate their talent for one day each November to raise money for City of Hope, “cutting out” cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes and other life threatening diseases. Salons that raise a minimum of $200 are eligible to compete in the largest fantasy hair contest of its kind anywhere, affectionately called the Hairball.

This year I was in the audience at the Hyatt Regency in Philadelphia as Wildcats: Back to the Jungle got underway. Salon teams must design their costumes to reflect this feline-inspired theme, which is different each year and has included Peking Pussycats, Space Kitties, Scaredy Cats and Carnival Kitties. Philly’s own Phoenix Salon & Spa sent a bevy of jungle animals, including a giraffe, down the runway and won Best of Show for their efforts….” Click here to read complete article.
