There’s a thrifty little store in Sarasota where you can buy some real bargains to help you get through our economy’s financial crunch. It’s called the Village Cupboard and it’s located at 3667 Bahia Vista Road. Run by two women who both grew up in the Amish Sect, this “scratch and dent” market features everything from food to pharmaceuticals.

A qualified, licensed massage therapist will completely cover your medical history to determine what modes of therapy will benefit you and where on your body the pain and discomfort are. In rare cases, where extreme medical problems exist, your therapist will recommend not engaging in this type of therapy, as massage might worsen some conditions. For most people, though, massage therapy is an extremely crucial element of their total wellness regimen.
