Compass Massage & Bodywork, an on-site provider of therapeutic massage services located in Ocean City, NJ, has been busy planning the chair massage and relaxation area for the volunteers of Philadelphia 2000.

President and Founder, Monique Frost, CMT, rallied the "therapeutic touch community" to provide more than 4,000 free chair massages, valued at over $60,000 during the 10 days in Philadelphia. They have 10 custom-made red, white and blue Golden Ratio QuickLite Massage Chairs, donated by Golden Ratio Woodworks, Thumper® massage equipment for the weary feet, 20,000 samples of Biofreeze pain relieving gel and coupons for future chair massage bookings.

"This has been one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. I'm just thrilled that all the pieces of the puzzle have come together and that everyone involved has received the concept with as much enthusiasm as I have. It's time we make more people aware of the level of professionalism and care that's available to reduce stress and increase overall wellness. Together, we're looking forward to bringing touch therapy into the 21st century during such an exciting time for Philadelphia and the tri-state area!" Monique said.
