SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Massage Envy, the pioneer and national leader of affordable and convenient massage and spa services, is the ultimate getaway for dads this Father's Day.

"It's important we remember that dads like to be pampered too and are deserving of a little "me" time," said Susan Boresow, chief marketing officer at Massage Envy. "Instead of trying to guess his personal taste in clothing, we suggest surprising him this year with one of our many stress-relieving, rejuvenating massage treatments that will surely show him how much he's appreciated."

The Deep Heat Muscle Relief Therapy is extremely beneficial for those who desire a deeper level of massage and who may suffer from chronic pain. During the treatment warm towels and topical ointments such as Prossage and Biofreeze are used to relieve pain, stress, and discomfort in muscles, tendons and ligaments. It can be added to any massage treatment for $12 for members and $18 for non-members.

"We know dads are not the easiest to shop for, but this holiday season there's no need to hit the busy, overcrowded mall on the hunt for a gift," continued Boresow. "All of our centers are open during convenient hours, sure enough to fit dad's busy work and play schedule."

Designed to reduce joint discomfort, the Deep Heat Muscle Relief Therapy is also known to alleviate muscle spasms and pain caused by strains and sprains. It provides temporary relief from pain associated with arthritis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, and tendonitis. Furthermore, the treatment improves range of motion and circulation.

All Massage Envy Spa locations also offer a variety of Murad® healthy skin facials, as well as products for purchase that make great gifts for dad's personalized skincare regimen. Massage Envy established a strategic partnership with global skincare leader Murad to build upon consumers' desire for affordable, healthy skin care beyond traditional massage therapy.

For those who still cannot decide on a gift for Father's Day, Massage Envy recommends a gift card so that dad can customize a visit himself. Gifts cards can be purchased either at any local center or online at massageenvy.com, and are redeemable at any Massage Envy location in the United States.
