Massage Envy Makes Valentine's Day Shopping A Breeze

Massage Envy gift cards are the perfect present for anyone on your list

Scottsdale, Ariz. (February 9, 2011) - Skip the chocolates this year and give the gift of wellness to your Valentine. A Massage Envy gift card, good for therapeutic massage or a Murad® healthy skin facial (at Massage Envy Spa locations) will be greatly appreciated by loved ones. Massage Envy, the nation's largest provider of massage therapy and the largest spa chain in the U.S., has more than 650 locations in 43 states, making a visit both affordable and convenient.

"A customized massage is a great way to relax as well as ease pain for both men and women," said CG Funk, vice president of industry relations and product development at Massage Envy. "Recent studies show that just one massage session can lower stress hormones and increase endorphin levels in addition to reducing blood pressure and heart rate."

Massage Envy's licensed therapists provide various customized massage including Swedish, sports, trigger point, deep tissue and prenatal. Many Massage Envy centers offer couple's massage - the perfect Valentine's Day gift. At Massage Envy Spas, licensed estheticians offer four customized facials in addition to massage. A professional facial can moisturize the skin, reverse visible signs of aging, improve skin tone and texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and diminish blemishes and breakouts.

All Massage Envy centers are open late, seven days a week.
