North Texans Turn to Massages, Facials to Relax with the 9th Massage Envy Spa

Massage Envy Spa Preston Park Village Reaping Benefits of Popularity

Thousands of North Texans are turning to massage therapy and facials to relax and de-stress. Exhibit A in this surge of popularity is Massage Envy SPA – Preston Park Village.

“Our revenues are up 20 percent year over year,” says Bruce McGovern, who, with his wife, Stephanie, owns four Massage Envy clinics including the Spa in Plano. “Along with growing demand for therapeutic massage, we will be adding facials and spa services in the next 30 days, so our growth curve should continue upward.”

There’s more to the spa’s growth than revenues. Massage Envy SPA – Preston Park Village has moved to a new 3,500-square foot location at 1900 Preston Road, Suite 201, Plano TX 75093 (972) 964-0600, adding two rooms and separate waiting areas for spa and massage clients.

The Plano Preston Park Village site is the first in the DFW area to incorporate new Massage Envy specifications for color schemes. “It’s a relaxed and welcoming environment where our clients will feel right at home,” Mr. McGovern said. “We’ve evolved from a neighborhood location to a regional resource for spa and massage services.”

The Massage Envy Spa – Preston Park Village therapists offer specialized massage expertise, including pre-natal, hot stone, reflexology and trigger points. To attract experienced therapists, the McGoverns offer employment packages that include major medical and paid vacations for full-time employees. All four of the McGovern’s clinics are actively hiring certified massage therapists, certified estheticians and sales associates.

Winners of numerous Massage Envy awards for excellence in franchising, the McGoverns were the first Massage Envy franchisees in the DFW area, opening their Old Town site on Greenville Avenue in Dallas in 2005. Over the past five years, Old Town has been the second busiest Massage Envy in the United States.

With today’s fast pace and hectic schedules, North Texans are benefiting from facials and therapeutic massage. Visit one of the 28 Dallas/Fort Worth Massage Envy clinics to learn more about how massage therapy helps people relax and de-stress.

Massage Envy Rowlett Threepeats with Third Consecutive Win for Therapist of the Year

Within the Massage Envy universe, the Rowlett Massage Envy Spa latest achievement may be a first – for the third consecutive year, the Regional Therapist of the Year has been chosen from the Rowlett clinic. Alisyn Schreiber is the 2011 honoree. And the clinic, owned by Dr. Richard and April Klics, won’t even celebrate its fifth anniversary until March 16, 2012.

Alisyn currently is Lead Therapist at Massage Envy Spa Rowlett and has been full time with the clinic for two years. She is a very busy woman. In 2011, she performed almost 1500 hours of massage in addition to scheduling, hiring and training massage therapists. A popular therapist, requested therapist bookings make up 65 percent of her schedule.

Schreiber said, “I am so excited and honored. I love my job and helping people, and I am so lucky to be able to make a living doing something I love. Then to win an award like this – I could hardly sleep for days after I found out. I am so happy I came to work for Massage Envy Spa in Rowlett.”

Dr. Klics commented, “Alisyn has grown a lot in the last year as a person and a therapist. Though she is still quite young, she impresses everyone she meets with her knowledge and experience. She regularly initiates and works on community projects in order to help those in need. But best of all, Alisyn always has a big smile and words of encouragement for everyone she sees. Staff and clients alike love her for her knowledge and appreciate her patience and kindness.”

She joins 2009 Regional Therapist of the Year Jason Michaels and 2010 Regional Therapist of the Year Nina Almandarez. Both are still with Massage Envy Spa Rowlett. Having three Therapists of the Year on staff is both a special accomplishment and source of pride for the clinic.

“The first time was a shock, we really didn’t expect it since there are so many large and successful clinics in the DFW region,” says Dr. Klics. “The second year we knew that we had all worked hard and felt so honored and humbled to have won the award in back to back years. But to win it for a third straight year is just beyond words. I am so proud of my people and all their hard work and dedication to the profession. It is nice to be recognized, but we accept this award with great humility and thanks to our friends and the Massage Envy brand for their support.”

Alisyn is looking forward to attending the annual conference Massage Envy Corporate holds in Phoenix, Arizona, each year. The Regional Therapists of the Year from all around the country are honored at an awards ceremony.

Massage Envy Spa Rowlett is located at 4301 Lakeview Parkway, Suite 600, Rowlett.

A Soothing Massage at Massage Envy Helps You Relax, Sleep Better

National Sleep Awareness Week is March 7-13, 2012
If you’ve ever had a thorough massage, you know how relaxing it can be. So it’s no surprise that massage can help when you’re having trouble sleeping, notes Massage Envy.
The benefits of massage are many – loosen or soothe sore, aching muscles; reduce stress; improve circulation; release tension; lower heart rate and blood pressure; and help strengthen the immune system. These relaxing effects make massage a big help in restoring restful sleep.
Massage can also help treat sleeping problems due to stress, migraine headache, pain, and muscle and joint stiffness. National Sleep Awareness Week, March 7-13, is the perfect time to improve your sleep.

The leading massage provider in the U.S., Massage Envy “believes that everybody deserves a good night’s sleep,” said Lance O’Pry, Dallas/Fort Worth regional developer for Massage Envy. “That’s why we offer affordable massage therapy sessions with flexible appointment times seven days a week to fit even the busiest schedules. And, with 28 locations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, massage has never been more convenient.”

Therapeutic massage relieves stress by easing muscle tightness and increasing circulation throughout the body. Massage also lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol and promotes the release of pain-killing endorphins in the brain.

Clients receiving ongoing massage therapy from Massage Envy report a sense of mental clarity and an increased ability to turn off stressors and achieve optimal rest and relaxation.

Massage also increases blood flow to sore, painful muscles, bringing in healing oxygen and nutrients and helping remove waste products in muscles. The result: less swelling and stiffness and increased flexibility to help eliminate pain.

Because massage helps ease stress, strain and pain, you’re more calm and relaxed and better prepared for quality, restorative sleep.

At Massage Envy, an introductory one-hour massage session (a 50-minute massage and time for consultation and dressing) is just $49. Memberships are available for $59 per month and include a one-hour massage session. Members can enjoy unlimited additional one-hour massage sessions at the $39 member rate.
