Wellness Week offers great discounts, but you could save year-round – thanks …

HOUSTON—You’ve probably heard of Wellness Week, when spas give big discounts on upscale beauty services and massages. On top of the 50-percent savings this week, you could also save hundreds of dollars all year round, thanks to Uncle Sam.

Everyone loves a good massage. For Kelley Ramsey, a massage is not just about being pampered, it really about scaling down her pain. Today on a scale of one to ten, she ranks her pain a 6 or 7.

On a recent visit to the Kavana Healing Arts Spa, Ramsey rated her pain at a six or seven, on a scale from one to 10.

“Our goal today is to get you down to at least a two or three,” massage therapist Ady Burgida told Ramsey.

Ramsey, 28, suffers from TMJD, a condition where she clenches and grinds her teeth, triggering severe headaches.

“My doctor, who I see for my jaw disorder, actually referred me to Ady,” Ramsey said.

Burgida has been a therapist for 10 years. Putting on a pair of surgical gloves, she massaged Kelley’s mouth from the outside and the inside.

When Ramsey started her weekly massages, she said she saw instant improvement.

“I probably went from having migraines two times a week or three times a week…I’m lucky now to have them twice a month, which is a huge victory for me,” she said.

Better yet, she is saving big bucks on those weekly visits, thanks to a health savings account.

“I probably save with my HSA about $600 a year with money I would’ve been paying the government in taxes,” she said.

There are different variations, like the Flexible Savings Account. They spend like a credit card from money you set aside—money for healthcare throughout the year. That money is not taxed and can be spent on massages. You do not need a doctor’s note to do this.

After all, Burgida said, massages are good for you.

“We are stretching muscle fibers. We increase blood circulation to the area, we are actually flushing metabolic waste from the area,” Burgida said.

In fact, Kavana, on Lexington Street in the Upper Kirby District, helps clients navigate health insurance to see if sessions might be covered.

“Typically, an insurance company will pay anywhere from 50 percent or less,” Burgida said.

Again, you can put up to $3,000 a year away in a health savings account tax free. You don’t have to have a medical condition. You do, however, have to prove it was spent on something “health-related” if you’re ever audited.

As a few of you know i’ve been doing a full re build on my Griff incl an LS3 transplant, as with most car project i’ve gone way over budget and the weeks have turned into months etc, i’d hoped to get the car back by May which then became July, that came and passed along with the Growl in August, but all was not lost i was sure it would be ready for Spa in October! Unfortunately do to unforseen circumstances the car is just short of being ready so figured i’d have to bite the bullet till next year as there’s plenty going on including a new baby!!So called richard at Dulfords and gave him the bad news:[ . That was untill last week when i found myself surfing through the classifieds and came across WILLTVR's 4L T350C with str8six re-build and and pratically every other up-grade you could want to take your car on the track. Well after a few phone calls and the small obstacle of the car being at the other end of Scotland she's now parked in the garage waiting for Spa and the Griff to come home[pinch me i think i'm dreaming].
Big thanks to Ian for building an absolute peach of a car!, I’d always had an itch to scratch when it came to the T cars and the speed six, but had always been put of by the fear of engine re-build etc, but after driving the car in anger twice know all i have to say is Wow and bring on Spa, once i’d got used to the different engine characteristics etc what a superb handling car whith just the right bits breathed on, it’s not often you buy a car and park it thinking I don’t need to do a thing[well except take the Scottish Flag of the back lol], even a spare set of SP12′s and 888.
One little problem is the drivers seat is a carbon Cobra ImolaS which with me being a bit of a short arse is around two inches to short, i know you can move the pedal box forward but i’d also like to bring the seat forward a touch, only problem is you cannot re-drill the seat so need to get some kind of ally bracket made up to move the seating position forward as its a fixed mount.
Any one got any suggestions on who could turn this round by Spa weekend[1st Oct]i’m in the Surrey area. Thanks
