MASSAGE ENVY SPA OPENS NEW LOCATION IN GAITHERSBURG

GAITHERSBURG, MARYLAND (DECEMBER 12, 2014): Two area physicians, Drs. Marc Loev and Lester Zuckerman, are expanding their businesses from anesthesiology and pain management to owning and operating a Massage Envy Spa in the new Downtown Crown community in Gaithersburg, Montgomery County. They are joined by business partner Scott Loev. This marks the second location for Scott and Marc Loev, whose other Massage Envy Spa is located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.

The largest in Maryland, Massage Envy Spa Gaithersburg features 13 private treatment rooms, including two rooms for couples massage sessions and a large tranquility room. Members and guests can choose from a wide variety of massage treatments, including Swedish, trigger point therapy, deep tissue, sports and prenatal.

The proven benefits of routine massage include improved circulation, joint flexibility and posture, relief from pain and swelling caused by arthritis, reduced blood pressure, fatigue, migraine pain and stress, as well as improved sleep, concentration and overall sense of well-being.

Other services that are part of Massage Envy Spa’s Enhanced Therapies menu include AromaTherapy, Sugar Foot Therapy and Deep Muscle Therapy, which can be added to any massage to enhance the experience and stress relief. In addition to massages, Massage Envy Spa offers facials designed by Dr. Murad, the leader in high-performance, science-based skincare. Members and guests can choose from four different Murad® Healthy Skin facials including Environmental Shield® Vitamin C, Clarifying Enzyme Acne, Anti-Aging and Sensitive Skin.

“Massage therapy has become an increasingly popular natural adjuvant to relieving stress and managing the pain associated with chronic health conditions,” said Dr. Marc Loev, who opened the Massage Envy Spa in suburban Langhorne, PA in 2013. “As physicians and longtime residents in Gaithersburg and Potomac, we believe in the health and wellness benefits of massage and are excited about bringing the value and quality of Massage Envy Spa’s services to our own community.”
