Nurturing mother and child during this amazing time of change, development and hope with a prenatal massage is a great way to help ease the discomfort that comes with pregnancy by alleviating stress, soothing achy muscles, easing cramps and assisting with lymphatic flow, which can help decrease puffiness in target areas. Mature adults also appreciate the effects of massage as pain from arthritis, injuries and chronic tension are kneaded away.

Most baby boomers blame their common foot problems, such as bunions and hammertoes, on the shoes they wore as children. And now that baby boomers are taking on the roles of not only parents, but grandparents, this myth continues. In reality, the cause of most common structural foot problems is heredity. Also, many baby boomers are unaware that bunions, hammertoes and many other foot problems can be treated in a doctor’s office through tiny incisions, without the use of pins, screws, wires, etc.

Re/Max Properties S.W. Inc., 6985 Wallace Road, Orlando, 407-352-5800, ext. 645, www.annvarkey.com. The majority of baby boomers have established themselves in the community. They have more time to invest in buying and selling homes, while making a profit from their real estate investments. Some are downsizing or buying more than one home.
