    Why Massage Therapy?

    Maybe you've heard of massage therapy, maybe you're curious and always wanted to try it out or maybe... just maybe you think massages are only for fancy vacation time. The truth is, massage therapy is more than merely relaxation and is proven to be a far more potent healing medicine than most people realize.

    Generally, a massage therapist will talk to you about what your problems and concerns are and address them during the treatment.


    Here are some of its benefits:
    • Massage reduces stress. Too much stress can weaken the immune system, causing a person to be more susceptible to illness; can cause high blood-pressure, muscle pain, asthma and skin problems and can even cause low fertility.
    • It eases muscle tension. Muscle tension can cause chronic pain in the body, leading to lack of exercise, which in turn can cause weight gain, loss of muscle tone, and poor health.
    • Massage therapy reduces waste from metabolism in muscles. Metabolic waste includes nitrogen compounds water, carbon dioxide, phosphates, and sulfates. Massage can help the body better excrete these metabolic wastes to increase health.
    • It opens blood vessels to knotted-up areas. Blood vessels carry blood to organs in the body, such as the brain. Having enough blood flowing to the brain increases brain power. Keeping blood vessels open will also prevent atherosclerosis which can lead to high cholesterol.
    • Massage increases nutrient flow to the muscles. The muscles in the body need nutrients, such as calcium (which is essential for bone health) and potassium (which maintains kidney function), in order to remain healthy.
    • It improves muscle tone by preventing or delaying atrophy. The better the muscle tone, the better equipped the muscles will be to maintain movement. The ability to move helps maintain an active lifestyle and better health.
    • Massage relaxes muscle spasms. Anyone who has had a muscle spasm knows it is painful. Helping to reduce the occurrence of these spasms is well worth it.
    • Massage therapy disperses edema (swelling). The swelling of tissues in the body causes pain, discomfort, and difficulty performing normal activities. The relief of this swelling can be quite helpful.
    • It relieves muscle aches and pains. The relief of aches and pains is of great value to a person in pain. Massage cannot only ease these aches and pains, but it can also help a person to feel rejuvenated and relaxed at the end of a massage session.

    Experts believe that every person, healthy or otherwise, should receive a massage therapy treatment at least once a month. We recommend Pain Treatment Clinic of Cabo for real massage therapy.

    Be sure to visit The Cabo Store and check for pre-paid vouchers on Beauty & Health and save 50% on your next session!

    How to successfully make phone calls in Mexico.

    You might need to know how to make a phone call while you are here in México. You may want to contact one of the business from your vouchers to arrange reservations or have questions. You may also wish to contact us to acquire more vouchers or ask questions. Here are some quick tips that will help you make successful phone calls, to and within Mexico.




    Calling to Land Lines in México from Another Country:

    If you are calling a Mexican city from abroad, first dial the international access code (011 if you're calling from the U.S.), followed by México's country wide code (52),the appropriate area code (624 for Cabo San Lucas & San José) and the local subscriber number. e.g. For an international call to The Cabo Store's land line, dial 011-52-624-172-0205.

    Remember - If you are having a hard time connecting, dial 00 for an international operator.

    Calling to Land Lines within México:
    For domestic long-distance calls, you must dial 01 before dialing the area code and subscriber number. e.g. For a call from San José to La Paz, dial 01-612-XXX-XXXX.

    For local calls, simply dial the phone number. e.g. XXX-XXXX.




    Calling to Cell Phones in México:

    Calling a México cell phone is just a little trickier than calling a land line. Mexican cellular phones operate on the Calling Party Pays (CPP) system; whoever initiates a call pays for it!

    When calling within the same area code use the prefix 044. e.g. 044-624-XXX-XXXX.

    If you are calling a cell phone in a Mexican area code different from your own, you need to include the prefix 045. e.g. For a call from Guadalajara to a Cabo mobile phone, dial 045-624-XXX-XXXX.


    Baja's main area codes:
    624 - Buena Vista, Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo.
    612 - La Paz and Todos Santos.
