Cape Cod Area Massage Envy Spas Host “Healing Hands for Arthritis” on September 17

$10 from Every Massage or Facial to Benefit the Arthritis Foundation

Massage Envy Spa and the Arthritis Foundation have joined forces to host the fourth annual Healing Hands for Arthritis, a one-day national event to build awareness and raise funds to fight arthritis. On September 17, 2014, Massage Envy Spas in New England will donate $10 from every one-hour massage or facial to the Arthritis Foundation. Since 2011, this one-day nationwide event, has raised over $2 million for the Arthritis Foundation.

The Hyannis spa is located at 1070 Iyannough Road Unit 50, and the phone number is (508) 790-3689.

The Plymouth spa is located at 10 Home Depot Drive, and the phone number is (58) 830-369.

“By making their massage or facial appointments on this impactful day, our clients will have the opportunity to support an important cause,” said Richard Silva, regional developer of Massage Envy Spas of New England. “We ask local community members to come out on September 17 to help fight arthritis, a disease that affects 50 million Americans and is America’s leading cause of disability.”

Reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. All proceeds donated during Healing Hands for Arthritis will support the Arthritis Foundation’s nationwide efforts to prevent, control and cure arthritis. Murad ®, Massage Envy Spa’s exclusive skin care partner, will donate 10 percent of all sales from their products sold at Massage Envy Spa locations during the event to the Arthritis Foundation. To schedule an appointment for the Healing Hands for Arthritis event, contact your local Massage Envy Spa by visiting www.massageenvy.com/locations.

“Healing Hands for Arthritis will provide support for arthritis education, research, advocacy and other vital programs and services,” said Meagan Fulmer, chief development officer for the Arthritis Foundation. “We are looking forward to seeing the results from this event and hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity in their local communities.”

Massage Envy Spa and the Arthritis Foundation hope to raise awareness of the devastating effects of arthritis on the body and the potential for massage therapy to relieve and control certain symptoms. Massage therapy can play an important role in alleviating the pain and swelling caused by arthritis, improving flexibility and circulation and reducing stress and anxiety.

In addition to hosting Healing Hands for Arthritis, Massage Envy Spa is a national sponsor of the Arthritis Foundation’s signature event, Walk to Cure Arthritis®. Massage Envy Spa owners from across the country have been and continue to have a presence at their local Walk to Cure Arthritis events to share information about the benefits of massage therapy, provide chair massages and support the Arthritis Foundation’s mission.
