Envy Rubs the Hub the right way
Dedham, Arlington, and Wellesley Make Six!
A new company descended on the Hub a year ago in Newton and is
quietly making its mark on the rapidly growing massage-therapy
industry. The “Hub likes to be Rubbed” as
the results have shown and aggressive expansion plans are now
in place with three clinics open, three under construction in
Dedham, Wellesley, and Arlington and seven additional under development
in the region.
“A year ago, when we opened in Newton, we were confident
but also concerned that New England might be different than other
parts of the country when it comes to massage therapy,”
said Richard Silva, co-developer for Northern New England
and Co-owner of the Newton clinic. This fear was quickly
laid to rest as the first Massachusetts clinic met with record
breaking success. One year later, the Newton clinic has over a
thousand members and is providing between 50 and 100 massages
a day, seven days a week, with 34 therapists on staff.”
said Silva.
Massage Envy is a national franchise that takes
massages out of the “elite only”
market and makes them affordable for everyone through a monthly
membership plan similar to those offered at health clubs. Members
can enjoy a massage each month for $59, with each additional massage
in the same month costing just $39.
Aside from price, Massage Envy offers a number
of other special features. Chief among them is convenience –
the clinics are open weekdays as late as 10 p.m. and on both Saturday
and Sunday until 6 p.m. to accommodate consumers’ busy schedules.
“Our clinics also have a spa-like setting, with waiting
areas, a tranquility room, and eleven to thirteen treatment rooms,
and couples rooms,” said Jane Tomeo, co-owner.
“The difference is that therapy is easily accessible to
our customers.” Tomeo also notes that memberships can be
used at any of the over 450 Massage Envy clinics
now open throughout the country. Many of our members have winter
homes in Florida and they can always find a Massage Envy
close by, said Tomeo.
The
newest clinic will open in Dedham in mid August and is one of
the 40 clinics planned for Massachusetts with Jane Tomeo and Richard
Silva serving as the regional developers for Massage Envy
franchising in MA, ME, VT, and NH. The Dedham clinic will be located
on route one in the Bed Bath and Beyond Center and will have 13
therapy rooms.
At
an estimated $11 billion, massage therapy is one of the fastest-growing
industries in the nation, a fact that’s not surprising given
Americans’ increasingly hectic lifestyles. During the past
year alone, an astounding 47 million adults in the United States
received a massage for everything from stress reduction to pain
relief and overall relaxation. Massage Envy has
grown with the industry – from one clinic in 2002 to over
450 clinics today and another 350 in development. Massage
Envy is the largest employer of licensed massage therapists
in the country.

“We
have a unique business model – one that benefits the company
and its customers,” Silva said.
Massage
Envy® Limited, LLC, is a bold concept in therapeutic
massage. The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company was created in 2002
upon the premise that massages should be relaxing, but also affordable
and convenient. Massage Envy makes this possible
through a monthly membership plan that enables customers to enjoy
massages on a regular basis. Massage Envy offers
all first time clients a trial one hour massage session for only
$39, which is 50% off of the non-member rate. This gives the community
an opportunity to see first hand how regular use of massage therapy
can provide a healthy benefit at a reasonable price. For more
