Massage Envy Spas Hosts Arthritis Fundraising Event on October 12

Do you or someone you know suffer from arthritis?

Massage Envy Spa understands what that’s like and they want to do something to help. That’s why they’re taking action on World Arthritis Day.

On October 12^th, $10 from every massage and facial benefits the Arthritis Foundation.

Massage Envy, the pioneer and national leader of affordable and convenient massage and spa services, has joined forces with the Arthritis Foundation to host Healing Hands for Arthritis, a one-day national event to build awareness and raise funds to fight arthritis. On World Arthritis Day, October 12, 2011, Massage Envy SPA will donate $10 from every one-hour massage and facial to the Arthritis Foundation.

“There’s no better way to give back than to treat yourself, a friend or family member to a relaxing and rejuvenating massage or facial,” said Kent Swarts, Regional Developer of Massage Envy in Virginia. “We strongly encourage the Richmond community to come out on October 12th to help fight a disease that affects 50 million Americans and is actually our nation’s leading cause of disability.”

To make an appointment for the Healing Hands for Arthritis event, contact any of the 3 Richmond area Massage Envy Clinics:  Commonwealth Centre at 744-8440, Short Pump at 612-0540 or Willow Lawn at 440-0004.  Appointments are being booked now on a first-come, first-serve basis. All proceeds donated during Healing Hands for Arthritis will support the Arthritis Foundation’s nationwide efforts to prevent, control and cure arthritis.

Additionally, Murad®, Massage Envy Spa’s strategic skin care partner, will donate 10 percent of all sales from their products sold at Massage Envy Spa locations during the event to the Arthritis Foundation.

“Partnering with the Arthritis Foundation was a natural fit, as we both a share a common understanding about the seriousness of the disease, the potential power of massage therapy to relieve certain symptoms, and what must be done to prevent, cure and control it,” said Chris Hughes, Short Pump and Willow Lawn Massage Envy clinics owner.

Over the past two years, Massage Envy has donated nearly $100,000 to fund clinical research related to the benefits of massage therapy. Recent scientific studies have found that massage therapy increases immune function, decreases stress levels and reduces recovery time in many medical conditions including arthritis.

Do something good for yourself on October 12 and benefit others at the same time. Call to schedule your appointment.
