We all enjoyed those glimpses of spring that shone through in the middle of February, but the chill to the bone that followed reminded us that we’ll have to stay synthetically warm for at least another few weeks.
Instead of lying out in the sun, you might just have to settle for an amazing massage at Relaxation Retreat. No sunburn, no sand in your hair and no seagulls yapping in your ear – do we really have to convince you that you’re doing much more than just settling?
A vast variety of massages are offered there. For example, ladies with a little one on the way will be happy to know that there is a special pre-natal/pregnancy massage. According to the website, this massage is intended to “alleviate pressure on the joints, reduce swelling in the legs, relieve lower back pain and aid the body during this special time of transformation in a woman's life.”

Perhaps you have the time for an intensive two-hour treatment, or maybe you just have 30 minutes to spare. Relaxation Retreat has 15 to 120 minute options to choose from. Call them to discuss which length of time is the best for you.
Although the company is known by Merrick residents, it is a bit of a hidden gem. The address is listed as Nagle Court, but this refers to a shopping plaza, not a street. Put 2 Merrick Avenue into your GPS to begin your journey toward massage heaven.
