Massage Envy is our luncheon sponsor this week.
Massage Envy, a nationwide franchise, is happy to be open in Sunset Corners. The response has been amazing; they already have nearly 700 members. People seem to understand the benefits of consistent massage in their lives, which includes relaxation, stress reduction and sore muscles relief. It is now recognized as an integral part of health maintenance. In their surveys and studies, Massage Envy Corporate, has learned that the primary reasons people do not receive massages on a regular basis are time and cost. Therefore, each Massage Envy clinic has over 4000 potential appointments per month and keeps their membership costs low. The membership based approach makes massage therapy available and affordable to everyone. As such, they have a special $39 introductory price for all first-time visitors. And even if you need an appointment TODAY, call! They’ll be able to get you in.
