Are
you considering giving a massage club access to your bank
account?
Is
this smart? Well one thing that is smart is to do your
research before making such a financial commitment. With
a perusal of the complaints made against Massage Envy,
one thing we have learned is that people are being sold
this "auto debit" contract and not actually
reading the contract at all. That
is not smart!
In
all fairness, what Massage Envy is doing is completely
legal and nothing more than exploiting key weaknesses
in people: Greed, laziness and stupidity.
So
let's be clear: Smart people do the following...
-
Read
contracts
- Research
Companies that draft their accounts.
Do
we have something against Massage Envy? Well let us answer
by saying that as we read peoples complaints about this
company we become almost more frustrated with the consumers
themselves than with the company. Here is why, the consumers
are becoming ensnared precisely because they are so focused
on not paying what something is worth.
Sorry
to disillusion those of you who insist on penny pinching
at the worst times, but a good massage is worth more than
$35. or the $15 or so that the person actually doing the
massage gets for the work.
What we are doing is compiling a vast collection of complaints
and even blogs dedicated to exposing what some feel are
the unethical tactics and policies of Massage Envy.

The
Benefits Of Massage
What exactly are the benefits of receiving massage or bodywork
treatments? Useful for all of the conditions listed below
and more, massage can:
- Alleviate
low-back pain and improve range of motion.
- Assist
with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers
and shorten maternity hospital stays.
- Ease
medication dependence.
- Enhance
immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the
body’s natural defense system.
- Exercise
and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Help
athletes of any level prepare for, and
recover from, strenuous workouts.
- Improve
the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.
- Increase
joint flexibility.
- Lessen
depression and anxiety.
- Promote
tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and
stretch marks.
- Pump
oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving
circulation.
- Reduce
postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
- Reduce
spasms and cramping.
- Relax
and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
- Release
endorphins—amino acids that work as the body’s natural
painkiller.
- Relieve
migraine pain.
A
Powerful Ally
There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the
adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic)
or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief,
pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in
your healthcare regimen.
Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease
is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally
and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety
and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic,
massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates
into:
- Decreased
anxiety.
- Enhanced
sleep quality.
- Greater
energy.
- Improved
concentration.
- Increased
circulation.
- Reduced
fatigue.

Furthermore,
clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after
receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides
can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible
physical benefits.
Profound Effects
In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical
changes cascade throughout the body, with profound effects.
Research shows that with massage:
- Arthritis
sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain.
- Asthmatic
children show better pulmonary function and increased
peak air flow.
- Burn
injury patients report reduced pain, itching, and anxiety.
- High
blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood
pressure, anxiety, and stress hormones.
- Premenstrual
syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and
cramping.
- Preterm
infants have improved weight gain.
Research
continues to show the enormous benefits of touch—which range
from treating chronic diseases, neurological disorders,
and injuries, to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles.
Consequently, the medical community is actively embracing
bodywork, and massage is becoming an integral part of hospice
care and neonatal intensive care units. Many hospitals are
also incorporating on-site massage practitioners and even
spas to treat postsurgery or pain patients as part of the
recovery process. Remember, don't envy those who feel great,
get a quality massage today. It makes a big difference in
you well being.
Increase the Benefits with Frequent Visits
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting
massage frequently can do even more. This is the beauty
of bodywork. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled
self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be
and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting
time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly
an investment in your health. And remember: just because
massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is
any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary
piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your
practitioner to establish a treatment schedule that best
meets your needs.
