This year, Massage Envy is celebrating its 10-year anniversary of creating an atmosphere of relaxation, rejuvenation and restoration. Founded in 2002, in Scottsdale, Arizona, the national franchise is dedicated to providing professional and affordable therapeutic massage and spa services to consumers with busy lifestyles at convenient times and locations. Today, Massage Envy has more than 800 locations in 45 states and is the largest employer of licensed/registered therapists performing over 13,000,000 services annually. The company is also consistently named one of the top franchises by leading publications including Inc. and Entrepreneur. The franchisor credits Massage Envy’s success to the franchisees who truly understand the needs of their members and guests and consistently deliver valued services and products across the United States.
At the core of the company’s mission of providing a pathway to wellness, well-being and worth are the physical and mental benefits of healing touch. Studies from well-recognized institutions including the Touch Research Institute at the Miami School of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Boston Medical Center, and Yale University continue to prove the physical and emotional benefits of even a single therapeutic massage session including improved circulation, increased joint flexibility, improved posture, release of chronic muscular tension and pain, improved sleep and concentration, lessened depression, relieved symptoms of arthritis and improved the condition of the skin.
As the number of proven health benefits grows, so do the number of Americans who turn to Massage Envy for a more balanced lifestyle. At Massage Envy, every massage is customized to fit one’s particular needs with professional massage therapists who can help determine the best massage option — this includes Swedish, deep tissue, sports, cranial sacral and prenatal.
At Massage Envy Spa, in addition to customized massages, four facial treatments are available to fit specific skin types. With healing touch at the heart of the company, Massage Envy formed an exclusive partnership with global skincare leader Murad®. With Murad, Massage Envy Spa customers benefit from facials designed by one of the world’s foremost leaders in skin health. Specially formulated Murad retail products are also available to help keep skin on a healthy regimen between treatments.
Massage Envy and Massage Envy Spa have changed the public’s perception about the benefits of massage and facial therapy. By making these services professional, convenient and affordable, over 1.3 million members recognize the importance of visiting Massage Envy and Massage Envy Spa to maintain a balanced lifestyle focused on wellness. Massage Envy in turn is committed to providing a pathway of wellness, well-being and worth.
