Time is ticking down. Have you found a gift for that hard-to-buy-for person yet? A good choice for either a man or a woman is a gift certificate to Massage Envy.
Located in the Everett Mall next to Macy’s, Massage Envy has several different therapies to choose from including the wildly popular hot stone therapy.
“We have all kinds of massage,” said Massage Envy franchise owner Edna Christianson. “Three things that we really focus on are being professional, convenient and affordable.”
These attributes make Massage Envy ideal for working professionals, those on a budget or for people who have not experienced a massage before. You can opt for a consultation and a fifty-minute massage or ask about any of the therapies that interest you.
There are many ways in which massage can be beneficial but it is perhaps best known as a stress reducer. That’s something that many can appreciate at this busy time of year and in this stress-inducing economic climate. The relaxation brought about by massage can create a sense of well-being.
Massage is also thought to have many health benefits. It can help to lower blood pressure, improve circulation and relieve stress headaches. Many health conditions have been known to respond favorably to massage therapy.
Massage Envy also offers pre-natal massage. It’s a thoughtful gift for expectant mothers. In addition to relaxation, studies have suggested that massage can have positive effects during pregnancy including the reduction of leg and back pain.
Christianson’s business also offers couple massage. It’s a private room with two massage tables so couples or friends can enjoy their massage time together. It’s perfect for husband and wife, mother and daughter, best friends or sports buddies.
Massage Envy has a warm, clean, comfortable environment. When you visit for the first time, a massage therapist goes over your physical condition with you to see if there are any specific areas that need to be addressed. Your spa-like treatment room is private and you get to choose how completely you disrobe below your drapes and wraps.
Clients may choose from deep tissue massage, Swedish, trigger point therapy, reflexology and more. Cranial sacral therapy works around the skull and spine. Hot stone therapy is hugely popular for deep muscle relaxation. It is also said to increase circulation.
To make it easier to gift a massage to your loved one, Massage Envy can create gift cards in any denomination you choose. This makes it an affordable gift for any budget.
Christianson said, “You can put enough for a massage or a massage plus a gratuity. You can put any dollar amount on the gift card, from $10 to $100.”
A massage is also a great gift to give to yourself. For ongoing stress relief, Massage Envy has a membership option that includes one massage a month plus special member rates for additional massages as often as you like.
Massage Envy is located inside the Everett Mall next to Macy’s. It is open seven-days-a-week including most evenings. Extended holiday hours are also being added. With eleven rooms and twenty massage therapists, scheduling is easy. For more information call (425) 353-5000.
