The Phoenix Massage Envy Co-Op Hosts Healing Hands for Arthritis
Phoenix, Ariz. (PRWEB) September 23, 2011
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, the Phoenix Massage Envy Co-Op will donate $ 10 from every one-hour massage and facial to the Arthritis Foundation. Prices for facials and massages are $ 49 and $ 39.
“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 Steven Cook, Massage Envy regional developer for Arizona. “We strongly encourage the local 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 find the Massage Envy center nearest you, visit massageenvy.com or facebook.com/MassageEnvyAZ. To make an appointment for the Healing Hands for Arthritis event, contact a Phoenix Massage Envy at 602.992.ENVY(3689). Reservations will be accepted 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 Cook.
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.
With consumers visiting massage therapists at least 140 million times a year, it is evident that more Americans are turning to therapeutic massage to relieve the painful symptoms of arthritis and fibromyalgia, while improving circulation, joint flexibility, sleep patterns and an overall sense of well-being. The experienced, professional therapists at Massage Envy clinics can design effective and customized massage treatments to address the individual needs of any member or guest.
In addition to hosting Healing Hands for Arthritis, Massage Envy is a national sponsor of the Arthritis Foundation’s 200 Arthritis Walk® events. Massage Envy owners from across the country have been and continue to have a presence at their local Arthritis Walk events to share information about the benefits of massage therapy, provide chair massages and support the Arthritis Foundation’s mission.

Do you work too hard and have no time to take care of yourself? Do you need some time to relax? Of course you need it, of course you do not have the time. Between family and work there is no time for yourself. Guess what, you may work for a company that provides relief. This relief may come in a chair massage.
As an incentive to produce greater profits or numbers, some companies will provide on-site chair massage for employees. Massage has been known to relieve a variety of ailments, and can relieve stress. The masseuse will bring his/her own portable massage chair to your place of work and provide massages to employees, often at the expense of the company. It is a more casual opportunity for a social gathering, as chair massage is done on a fully-clothed individual.
It sounds like such a luxury that no employer would do it” – really, check it out. Lots of companies have on-site day care, pharmacies, and nap-rooms for employees. Compared to this, a masseuse who shows up with his/her own equipment once weekly is an easy deal. This is particularly realistic when an employer uses it as an incentive to work harder or as a reward for a job well done.

As an employer, are you providing health care for your employees? Take chair massage into consideration. You will have fewer absences and better functioning individuals. They will produce great numbers and will be an overall benefit to the employer and employee.
When studying different languages, one can’t deny how exciting it is to discover that many cultures have the same word and customs of massage. The word comes from the Latin word friction”, as well as from the French word meaning friction or kneading”, and the Arabic word massage” meaning to touch, feel or handle.
Massage isn’t a new form of stress/pain relief. It has been passed down through the ages and through many cultures, specifically Chinese. There are records dating back 3,000 years to document the use of massage. The ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments – even Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.
One very important thing about massage is that while it relieves pain and stress, it doesn’t require medication, which can lead to drowsiness. If the employee is happy, he/she will produce better. Every employer wants to have happy workers, as they know this maximizes the work. My husband and I don’t want to be billionaires. We want to be able to pay the basic bills and have our girls in dance and music classes.
My husband works in a busy office, drives miles and miles a day, and comes home with back and neck pain. If only his company would institute chair massage. He would perform so much better. Many mornings he is up with stress headaches, many evenings with back/shoulder pain. We know that this can be cured with chair massage. Well, until his company does offer it on-site, we are paying money that we feel is well spent at our local massage spa, where his stress and pains are worked out by a professional. Encourage your company to offer on-site chair massage. We are working on ours!

Question by JR: Stabilizer connected to voltage regulator connected to massage chair?
Connected a voltage stabilizer to 230V 50Hz outlet. Connected a voltage regulator (output 110V) 120Watts to the output of stabilizer. Connected a 110V 60Hz massage chair to the output of regulator. The regulator burnt with smoke coming out. Any reasons why this could have happened.
Best answer:
Answer by anup i think you have frequency problem….ie,
your chair is 60 hz…
has it worked before in 50 hz…?
Americans in general are working more and more hours. More than before, as well as more than their European counterparts. We need to learn to relax a bit more. Family, work, friends all keep us busy. What do other countries know about relaxation. Maybe we can learn. You need to learn more about chair massage.
Many companies will provide chair massage for incentives to employees for hard work, or profitable numbers. What we do not all know (myself included until recently) is that massage in a chair can relieve many ailments from aches and pains to migraines and stress. The individual who will give this massage is usually an independent worker who will bring his/her own equipment to the work site. Unlike many massages, this one is done in a portable chair, fully clothed.
Companies actually do this. Even though it sounds like a luxury, remember that a lot of larger companies have, on their premises, conveniences such as nap rooms and day care. A masseuse who will come to the site with equipment can be used to provide incentives or reward hard-working individuals, while relieving stress.
So that now we know that chair massage can help performance, lets look at the benefit to the employer. You are already paying for health insurance for your employee, and possibly his/her family. Doesn’t it make sense to do something that will avoid claims before they happen. Chair massage will help avoid absenteeism, as well as making employees perform better while on the job.
The word massage comes from the Latin word friction”, as well as from the French word meaning friction or kneading”, and the Arabic word massage” meaning to touch, feel or handle.
The art of massage dates way back, back to over 3000 years. It has been documented by the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians. They all applied forms of massage for many ailments, including stress, headaches and joint pain. Hippocrates even wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.
As my husband and I say, theres more to life than work and money. Sure, we need to pay the bills, keep the house, and have our girls involved in dance and music. Most employees just want to get the job done and go home. An employer who provides chair massage will relieve stress and have happy employees working toward an incentive (not just the pay check) . Massage doesn’t involve medication, which can lead to drowsiness.

Question by cande56755: Who makes the best therapeutic massage chair?
For massage therapists.
This would be the most useful kind of chair – kind of a chair equivalent to the Honda accord.
Best answer:
Answer by dcslmt Oakworks, hands down. The Oakworks Portal Pro 3 is the only chair I will use or recommend anymore. The design is just genius; it’s very lightweight, and you can adjust for not only the client’s size, but your own height as well. With a sternum pad, it’s even comfortable for very pregnant women because of the shape of the frame.
