On September 1 the Rockwall Massage Envy Clinic Became a Spa Location and Offer Customized Facials Using Murad Skincare Products

The time seems right to Kenneth Lyons, co-owner with wife Celeste of Massage Envy Rockwall Clinic. On September 1, the clinic became Massage Envy Spa Rockwall and is now offering customized facials using Murad® Skincare Products.

Just as massage can help deal with life’s everyday stresses, so can facials. The appearance and health of our skin are affected by products applied to the face, poor diet, illness and pollution. Regular facials increase circulation, reverse visible signs of aging, improve skin tone and texture, and help to eliminate blemishes and breakouts – particularly those attributable to stress.

At the yearly Massage Envy conference held this past spring, Lyons saw how well the spas worked and wanted to offer the service to his clients. “We are really excited about our new spa services and think the training will fuel the fire,” he stated, adding “our clients are really excited about adding facials to their visits, too.”

Massage Envy Spa’s Murad Healthy Skin Facials feature specially formulated products from world-renowned Murad, Inc. The Murad skincare line is based on the fact that that skin cells lose the ability to retain water as they age, so Murad products are designed to repair cell membranes while attracting water and nutrients to the cells. This unmatched approach makes Massage Envy Spa’s Murad Healthy Skin Facials the most effective way to achieve balanced and more youthful-looking skin.

A variety of skincare treatments are offered that benefit every skin type, including:

• AHA Rapid Exfoliator Anti-Aging Facial that helps to reveal smoother, vibrant, younger-looking skin.

• Clarifying Enzyme Acne Facial that improves skin clarity, reduces blemishes and soothes inflammation.

• Environmental Shield Vitamin C Infusion Facial that reverses the signs of aging that result from everyday environmental factors such as sunlight, smog, pollution and stress.

• Sensitive Skin Facial that repairs and balances the skin with a gentle, yet effective treatment designed specifically to address skin that is easily irritated or sensitive.

“Massage Envy takes the same dedicated approach to skin care as it does to massage, so our guests know they are in the hands of professionals who understand their needs,” says Lance O’Pry, Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Developer for Massage Envy. “And, we are happy to offer yet another service that helps our customers’ look and feel their best.”

Massage Envy has very high standards for the employees performing facials. Only estheticians licensed by the state of Texas have been hired and will undergo extensive training led by both a Massage Envy trainer and two Murad representatives prior to September 1.

Like massages, facials at Massage Envy are reasonably priced. The introductory price for any of the four signature facials is just $59. Clients wishing to obtain a facial service will pay only $10 more than the regular Massage Envy massage therapy prices.

Massage Envy Spa Rockwall is located at 2931 Ridge Road, Suite 111, Rockwall, TX 75032 and is the seventh Massage Envy Spa in Dallas/Fort Worth.

With today’s fast pace and hectic schedules, everyone can benefit from 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.

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.

Massage Envy in Texas and throughout the country has helped popularize massage. Americans visit massage therapists approximately 140 million times a year. The percentage of Americans using massage therapists has more than doubled since 1997.

DFW Massage Envy Spa Owner in Grand Prairie to Run for Crohn’s Cure

Wendy Wright is training to run a half marathon. “My son, Cohen, is the best reason for me to run and raise money for a cure for Crohn’s disease,” says the owner of Massage Envy Spa South 360 in Grand Prairie.

Wendy was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2002. The chronic disorder inflames the small intestine or colon. The inflammation leads to ulcerations and bowel injury. Symptoms include fatigue, abdominal pain, fever and weight loss.

As many as one in four Crohn’s patients have a close relative with the disease, so Wendy knows there’s a chance that her son Cohen will be affected. Crohn’s most often strikes adolescents and young adults but can also affect young children. Some 10 percent of Crohn’s patients are under age 18.

“So far I have been lucky and have only had mild symptoms from this very debilitating disease,” Wendy said. “When I heard about the Team Challenge run, I jumped at the chance to join this cause.” She will run her half-marathon December 4 in Las Vegas.

Several of Wendy’s coworkers have contributed to her Team Challenge efforts. The center is located at 5232 South State Highway 360, Suite 610, Grand Prairie, TX 75052, phone 817-303-ENVY (3689).

“By supporting Team Challenge, you are also supporting me and the 1.4 million people who suffer from Crohn’s disease and inflammatory colitis,” Wendy said. “I want to thank my many friends and family members who are contributing to this cause which is so personal to me. Your support is really appreciated.”

Wendy is already more than halfway to her $3,300 goal. To support Wendy’s efforts, go to http://www.active.com/donate/NTX11TCVEGAS/ntxWWright.

For Sports Injuries, Add Massage to Ice & Heating Pad – Massage Envy DFW Recommends Stretching Muscles

Even if you concentrate on conditioning, sports injuries happen. Apply ice to any strain or sprain during the first 72 hours, then switch to a moist heating pad. Nonprescription medicine can help control pain and a good sports massage can help as well.

Massage therapy is also a great help for sports injuries. Request a therapist experienced in sports massage, and ask that special attention be paid to any injured areas, says Lance O’Pry, Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Developer for Massage Envy. “A massage therapist can stretch the muscles in trouble areas, promoting increased flexibility when the body is warm and more elastic.”

Massage therapy helps bring blood and nutrients to the affected area to repair the soft tissue. Ideally, get a massage as soon as you can tolerate it. Massage also can help break up scar tissue and keep the muscles supple so less scar tissue develops.

Even when there’s no injury, massage also helps athletes of all levels improve their flexibility and muscle suppleness. The kneading action of a massage disperses the accumulation of lactic acid, which causes fatigued, sore muscles.

Massage a Good Way to De-stress, Says Massage Envy

National Relaxation Day is Monday, August 15. Plan to celebrate any time during August by treating yourself to a break. Here are a few suggestions from Massage Envy, the leading provider of massage therapy in the U.S., to dial down the stress:

• Take a whole day or part of a day off. Sleep late. Lounge around the house. Enjoy a lazy day.
• Do something you enjoy. Listen to music, read a good book, watch a movie.
• Visit a tranquil, relaxing place like a lake, the beach, the mountains or a quiet restaurant.
• Spend time relaxing in the tub or on your deck or patio.
• Take a technology break – no emails, texting or tweets; let calls go to voice mail. Soak up the silence.
• Pamper yourself. Visit a spa. Enjoy a massage. (At Massage Envy, an introductory one-hour massage session is just $49.)
