The national franchise company has been tallying the number of massages performed at each of its 143 operating clinics since its founding four years ago.

Headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz., Massage Envy brings therapeutic massages out of the elite and makes them available to anyone interested in their wellness through a membership plan similar to those offered at health clubs.

"We believe everyone should be able to take advantage of the therapeutic and stress-relieving benefits of massage therapy, which is why we created this category," said Leonesio.
