Public Comments <br /> Massage Urgency Ordinance <br /> From: PAUL WELLNITZ <br /> Subject: Pleasanton Patch Article <br /> Date: Jul 20, 2018 at 7:57:06 AM [l[ gIEO [ U <br /> To: <br /> JUL 3 0 2018 <br /> CITY OF PLEASANTON <br /> Hello Michelle, PLANNING DIVISION <br /> I read to the article in the Pleasanton Patch regarding massage therapist and wanted <br /> to draft you a letter(email)so you could forward it to the people in charge. <br /> Hello City of Pleasanton, <br /> My name is Paul Wellnitz and I have been going to Healthy Necessity for over 3 years <br /> now for massage treatment. I started going there based on a strong recommendation <br /> by my physical therapist. She pointed out to me that without regular maintenance my <br /> body would continue to experience issues and that with massage I could avoid a lot of <br /> the pain and discomfort I have to deal with daily. I have been experiencing chronic <br /> pain for the last ten years and with Michelle's help at Healthy Necessity I am able to <br /> function a lot better. <br /> My experience has been so positive that when my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 <br /> cancer I spoke with Michelle about treatments that could help my mom during her <br /> journey with cancer. Thankfully Michelle is trained to work on cancer patients so I was <br /> able to start a regular schedule for my mom to see her. Unfortunately, her second <br /> floor office limited my mom's ability to see her for treatment at the end. The stairs <br /> going up to the second floor became too much for her to handle and we ended up <br /> having to cancel many of her final appointments because of them. <br /> I understand that there are massage centers"parlors" in the Pleasanton that may bring <br /> concern to the community but I do not think penalizing the ones that run their business <br /> properly and provided a service that is needed is the correct way to proceed. I know <br /> first hand how much treatment has helped improve my life and my mom's as well. <br /> That being said I also know how being on the second floor as Healthy Necessity is <br /> currently hindered my mom from being able to be treated and how much of a set back <br /> THE CITY OF <br /> ;III <br /> pLE ASANTON. 12 <br />
