Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

Today comes an hour or two you should give to yourself. Relax and Breathe allows you to do exactly what it says - relax and breathe. Massage therapist Cheryl Close offers a variety of different types of massage to cater your most relaxing time.

Her Shorewood location is decorated in a beach theme and as I stood in the treatment room and the white curtains moved in the breeze (this was last week, when it was nice out), I almost thought I was on a beach.

Close also works with Arrow Physician Group in Channahon. The group offers chiropractic care, physical therapy and accupuncture in addition to massage.
