Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) Aug. 27, 2012. Massage Envy Spa, a national sponsor of the Arthritis Foundation's signature event, Arthritis Walk, is teaming with the Arthritis Foundation once again to host the second annual "Healing Hands for Arthritis," a one-day national event designed to heighten awareness and raise funds to fight arthritis.
On Sept. 19, 2012, Massage Envy clinics will donate $10 from every one-hour massage or facial session directly to the Arthritis Foundation. Additionally, Murad, Massage Envy's exclusive skin care partner, will be matching Massage Envy's effort by donating 10 percent of all sales of skin care products sold at Massage Envy Spa locations during this event to the Arthritis Foundation.
Massage therapy can play a very important role in alleviating the pain and swelling caused by arthritis by improving flexibility and circulation, while reducing stress and anxiety. Massage Envy Spas encourage all guests to make reservations now for Sept. 19 and help support the Arthritis Foundation's nationwide efforts to fund research, improve arthritic care and, ultimately, find a cure.
