“For the longest time, I went to spas to have an RMT work on my troubled spots. While I felt “good” after my treatment, I never quite got to “great” or a resolution of the problem. It was a lot of money for 75% success. After thinking about it, I had an epiphany: there must be a place where RMTs is a way of doing business. In talking with a professional, I was referred to Equilibrium. Ahhhhh, success! Thank you, for getting to my spots, relief, and a resolution.. for a price that takes my dollar further!! Thank you.”
