I used to get backaches from riding my horse. Discovering Zen Day Spa changed my life! Their trained specialists helped relieve my pinched nerves, and they taught me how to avoid back problems in the future.

Prior to my first visit, I couldn’t even move my neck from side to side. Now I can move my neck in all motions and even participate in activities that I love--like salsa dancing!
