BRILLIANT IDEA
Massage Envy has introduced a first-of-its-kind self-care program, treating
therapists and estheticians like professional wellness athletes to encourage
health and wellbeing among staff. It includes new techniques for warming
up, recovery and building overall body strength to help therapists and
estheticians operate at peak performance, and also covers preventative
care, best practices, training and tools so that therapists can be proactive
in taking better care of themselves, and franchisees can cultivate an
environment where self-care is a priority.
