ccording to a study published in the Journal


of Alternative and Complementary Medi- cine, massage may boost longevity. People that experienced a single deep-tissue massage showed an average point drop in


both their systolic and diastolic blood pressures, as well as an 11 beats-per- minute decrease in their resting heart rates. “Over time, these subtractions could add as many as six years to a per- son’s life span,” says study author Alan Kaye, M.D., Ph.D. “The benefits of mas- sage actually last for days, and the more you experience them, the more likely your body is to adjust permanently.”


At Massage


Envy of Southwest Florida, massage therapy is considered an integral part of tak- ing care of the human body. “The founders of the Massage Envy franchise concept, John Leonesio and Shawn Haycock, felt


that it should be considered as im- portant as diet and exercise. In 2002, because they wanted everyone to enjoy its many health benefits, they made it their mission to provide a pathway to wellness through professional, conve- nient and affordable massage therapy and spa services,” says John Preston, chief operating officer for four locally owned franchises in Naples, Estero, Fort


Myers and Cape Coral. Massage Envy currently has 865


franchise locations throughout the Unit- ed States. Guests can sample services at a discounted rate of $49 for a one-hour massage or $59 for a facial. If desired, they can join the Wellness Program for $59 per month, which includes a one- hour massage each month, additional massages for just $39 and any of Mas- sage Envy’s four signature facials, which incorporate Murad skincare products, for $49. “If you miss a month, the credit rolls over to the next month, and if you are traveling in the U.S., you can use the membership at any Massage Envy location,” Preston advises. “Our mem- bers love the Wellness Program. We have members that have been with us since we first opened in Naples more than seven years ago.”
