Who’s Got Massage Envy? An Introduction to Our New Blog

Today Massage Envy is fairly known around town. However, only a few short years ago it wasn’t like this at all. Like most people, we didn’t know much about massage and probably only had 4 or 5 massages in our life time such as on vacation or to splurge. We certainly didn’t know anything about Massage Envy or all the benefits of having massages on a regular basis have on a person. Boy were we in for a real great eye opener. Shortly after we opened our own clinic here in Carmel Valley, we quickly witnessed the benefits of massage first hand through clients, the great talent that therapists have, and the advantages massage can have on arthritis, fibromyalgia, immune system etc. just to name a few. The past five years have been an awesome experience, with some big challenges along the way.

Some of you may remember that 16 foot sink hole on Carmel Mountain Road in May 2010. Well, when they fixed the hole and turned the water back on, it blew out a 16 inch water main pipe in a utility closet next to our clinic. It proceeded to fill up the entire clinic with 4 feet of water complete with floating furniture. Our small business was completely destroyed within a matter of 45 minutes and needed to be rebuilt. Fortunately, we live in one the best cities in San Diego, and our wonderful neighbors came to the rescue and lent a helping hand (the same may not be said in every San Diego neighborhood and for this we are eternally grateful). We were able to rebuild in a record-setting 60-days. There is something to be said here for the type of business and neighborly community that we have here in Carmel Valley.
