I am very grateful for the support we continually receive from all of our devoted customers. We are constantly looking for ways to improve your experience at Vive!. As a part of that effort, we are excited to announce that we will be open on Sundays starting Sunday May 4th. I am, however,  committed to the family lives of my customers as well as my staff. Because of this, we will be closed on holidays such as Mothers Day and Fathers Day. 

Talking about changes at Vive!, I am also very pleased to announce that 3 outstanding therapists have joined the Vive! team. Hector, Dan and Susan all have fantastic skills in the healing art of massage. They have already been getting rave reviews. Please check out their bio's.

I am also excited about a few other changes we have made recently. They are a bit more subtle, but are just as important to improving your experience at Vive!.

  • Additional soundproofing has been added to two rooms to help keep out unwanted noise.
  • New massage tables have been installed in the final 3 rooms. Every room is now equipped with some of the best professional tables on the market. Not only are these tables very strong and stable, but each one has electric lift features. People with disabilities will appreciate that we can now lower the table to knee height for easy access. The therapist can then adjust the height of the table as needed for treatment.
  • We have upgraded our linens. Better quality sheets are now being used, and of course they are laundered and sanitized to hospital quality standards.
  • We have started to stock a variety of self care items, including tools such as trigger point balls, aromatherapy, and pain relief products from BioFreeze.
  • Earlier this year we announced that we replaced bottled water with an outstanding filtered water system served in bio-degradable cups. Yes, we are looking out for your health and the environment at the same time.
As you can see, we have been very busy and we have plans for more improvements later in the year. Thanks again for being a Vive! customer. I hope to see you soon.


Wishing you good health,
Geri Balazs

Vive! is Going Green – No More Water Bottles!

Proper hydration is very important, especially after getting a massage. Deep tissue massage in particular releases toxins trapped in the muscular system which eventually will be flushed by the body through the lymphatic system. Proper hydration after massage helps to properly flush the system of these toxins.

Vive! is committed to your health as well as the environment. In the past, Vive! has always provided bottled water to our clients. We have now found a healthier and more ecologically friendly option than bottled water. We have installed a water filtration system which supplies healthier purified water. This will save thousands of water bottles each year as well as eliminate the environmental carbon impact of transporting the water.

Environmentally Friendly Cups
Picture
No more environmentally unfriendly bottles. We are now using to-go cups manufactured by ECO Products. The cups, lids and straws are all made of 100% renewable plant based plastics. This material is also ASTM certified to be 100% compostable. We hope you will agree that this is a far better alternative to plastic water bottles. 

The Water Filtration System
Picture
We selected an eight stage filtration system from Crystal Quest which removes a wide variety of contaminants and unwanted chemicals from the drinking water. Vive! specifically chose a system that includes a filter for removing fluoride from the water. Fluoridation of the water supply has become a controversial subject. If you wish to read more on the subject, we suggest an article about water quality written by Dr. Mercola.  He is an acknowledged author, researcher and expert in the preventative health field, focusing on Osteopathic Medicine.

We elected not to use a reverse osmosis system since the municipal water system already provides some basic water filtration. Reverse osmosis systems are particularly helpful to those people whose water is supplied by well systems. While these systems are excellent at removing contaminants from the water, they tend to waste a lot of water and also tend to remove many beneficial minerals from the water.
