This Valentine's Day speak volumes when you give your dear one a massage package to show your commitment to their health and happiness.

On April 4th 2011, Dreamclinic opened a new clinic located inside the MarQueen Hotel in Queen Anne.

Nestled in the heart of Seattle’s lower Queen Anne neighborhood, the MarQueen Hotel is a boutique hotel built in 1918 that combines old world charm with modern amenities. Dreamclinic first partnered with the hotel in the spring of 2010 when it started providing in-room massage services to weary hotel guests.  The feedback from MarQueen guests and from the hotel staff was phenomenal and this became the foundation of a successful long-term partnership between the hotel and Dreamclinic.  

Big news for those requiring Medical Massage. Dreamclinic just got accepted into the Regence network and starting January 1, 2011 we are accepting massage and insurance clients under Regence, as well as under other Insurance plans - Uniform, Aetna, Group Health, etc..  We are very excited about this development as Regence is very selective in credentialing for massage. 

To get your massage covered by insurance, you need a prescription from a prescribing medical specialist and we need to confirm you insurance-plan benefits prior to your first visit.
 
We're happy to answer any question you may have about getting medical massage covered by your insurance. Just call us at 206-267-0863 or email service(AT)dreamclinic(DOT)com.

The incredible Dreamclinic community did it again. Our dearly-beloved clients, business associates, and staff all voted at the end of 2010 for Seattle's Best Massage categories on Best of Citysearch and it spoke volumes!

Acupuncture As A Fatigue And Pain Treatment

By Rachelle Holmes of Chicago Breast Augmentation and Chicago Liposuction Center, Metropolitan MDs

Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of health care and treatments on the planet, but it still serves its purposes even today. Now, while inserting dozens of needles into your body doesn't seem like the most fun way to treat ailments, acupuncture is a tried and true therapeutic practice that has helped people deal with pain for centuries.

What is Cupping Therapy?

As the name suggests, Cupping Therapy uses a combination of negative pressure and massage movements with the use of a suction device. Cupping therapy is a Negative Pressure technique that is used to achieve a wide range of responses, ranging from extreme relaxation to therapeutic.

A cup is positioned at the area to be treated and, depending on the type of cups being used, a vacuum is created within the cup to draw the underlying tissue into the cup. The suction level can range from light to heavy, and the movements performed by the therapist can be either stimulating or sedating, depending on the needs of the client. The produced vacuum creates a suction effect that increases blood circulation to the local area, relaxes muscle tissue and releases a myriad pain causing factors. 

Are you running your life, or is it running you?

I listened to "The Power Of TED" author David Emerald talk about how people tend to settle for less than what they want out of life. Not only did everything he say make sense, it made me want to make changes in many areas of my life. And this was only a little taste of what his TED workshop is all about.

 
In keeping with tradition, this fall, Citysearch once again held voting for Best of Seattle in a variety of Health and Beauty Categories, including a number of massage specialties. 

On December 3rd, Citysearch announced the winners based on popular voting.  Dreamclinic claimed first place in eight out of nine massage categories including Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Thai Massage and others. 

Renton Ravens Win National Championship

Showdown in Vegas

Hearty congratulations go out to the Renton Ravens who just competed for the National championship in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 18th against the Las Vegas Demolition. 

The Renton Ravens won the championship 32-29, playing in scorching heat against the previously undefeated Demolition on their home turf in what turned out to be a thriller.

"This was a huge and very emotional accomplishment for us", said Charles Fedd, defensive end with the Ravens (and a Dreamclinic massage therapist) "Having first won the League championship, then the Bowl championship, and now the National Title, it's been a magical season."

The Renton Ravens of the Cascade Football League were also chosen as the comeback team of the year by their league. Way to go, Ravens, and Charles-we are proud of you!
