Massage Envy Shares Why Men Need Massages Too, Good for the Heart and the Muscles

Massage Envy Shares Why Men Need Massages Too, Good for the Heart and the Muscles

While June is typically known for Father's Day celebrations, cities around the United States will celebrate Men's Health Week (June 11-17), to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. While many of these health problems are treated with medications, nutrition, and behavior modification, doctors and therapists also prescribe massage therapy, which can also be a powerful ally in a health and wellness program for men. Massage Envy announces the debut of the fourth San Diego County location in San Marcos, California. The clinic opens on Friday, June 1, 2007 and is located at 145 South Las Posas in the Grand Plaza Shopping Center. As the fastest growing national franchise in the country, Massage Envy takes massages out of the elite and makes them available to everyone. With Men's Health Week on the horizon, there are no excuses for men to not take advantage of the benefits of massage.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 1, 2007

While June is typically known for Father's Day celebrations, cities around the United States will celebrate Men's Health Week (June 11-17, 2007), to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. While many of these health problems are treated with medications, nutrition, and behavior modification, doctors and therapists also prescribe massage therapy, which can also be a powerful ally in a health and wellness program for men.

While massage therapy is often seen as a luxurious treat for women, men can benefit as well. More than 29 million men in the United States suffer from high blood pressure and hypertension. Research shows that with massage, high blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure and anxiety. By incorporating massages into one's health and wellness program, men also can enjoy stress relief, pain management, and boost immune function.

Now, both men and women have an option to enjoy affordable and professional massage treatments on a consistent basis. Massage Envy announces the debut of the fourth San Diego County location in San Marcos, California. The clinic opens on Friday, June 1, 2007 and is located at 145 S. Las Posas in the Grand Plaza Shopping Center. As the fastest growing national franchise in the country, Massage Envy takes massages out of the elite and makes them available to everyone. With Men's Health Week on the horizon, there are no excuses for men to not take advantage of the benefits of massage.

When traditional day spas are offering one-hour treatments for an average $100, Massage Envy really brings the affordability to everyone allowing them the ability to enjoy de-stressing and relaxation every day instead of just for special occasions. Introductory massages are $39 for a one-hour session. However, Massage Envy members receive unlimited massages for the $39 rate. What really makes the concept stand out is that the price is the same for the treatment, regardless of what type of treatment you have whether it is Deep Tissue, Reflexology, Sports or Swedish massage, it is always the same. That is a keen benefit as traditional day spas often charge a great deal more for specific types of treatments. Between June 1 and 17, 2007, the new San Marcos location is giving a free half-hour massage gift certificate with every new membership purchased by a man, in celebration of Men's Health Week.

The San Marcos Massage Envy location is open seven days a week 8 a. m. to 10 p. m. Monday through Friday, Saturdays from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. and Sundays from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. to accommodate everyone's schedule. The clinic is the 223rd Massage Envy location to open in the United States.

The professional, convenient and affordable membership-based program brings together experienced, Licensed/Certified/Registered Massage Therapists in a serene spa environment. The new San Marcos Massage Envy offers more than 4,000 available appointment times each month. It's not only affordable, but convenient as well.

To book your appointment at the new San Marcos Massage Envy, please call (760) 410-0288. Gift certificates are available as a unique Father's Day gift for the men in your life.

In addition to San Marcos, there are three other Massage Envy locations open currently in San Diego County including Carlsbad, Mira Mesa, and Point Loma. Other parts of the county that will see Massage Envy locations this year include Carmel Valley, Eastlake, Escondido and La Jolla/UTC.
