She pointed out where the bathroom was, as it was going to be an hour long massage, and then showed me to my treatment room. The room was warmly colored and the color combination of brown and light blue is a personal favorite of mine. Some of the dimmed lighting was courtesy of a\u00a0Himalayan salt rock lamp, and there was soothing music softly playing in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1591\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1591\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1591 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/crackmacs.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/20160124_145304-1-e1479235680672.jpg\" alt=\"Centre Spa &amp; Wellness\" width=\"900\" height=\"674\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1591\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Crackmacs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.75; color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px;\">Anne-Marie came in when I indicated I was ready and she began by helping me get adjusted on the bed and into the most comfortable position for me.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.75; color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px;\">She asked about my injuries, in addition to what I wrote on my sign-in sheet, and even asked what kind of oil I preferred (I chose lavender). She was always making sure I was comfortable and not in any discomfort or pain and that the pressure was the right amount. I appreciated that given I was nursing some sore spots that day!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Feeling So Much Better<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.75; color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px;\">When it was over I felt a lot less pain and very relaxed.
