Follow on Google News | Massage Envy Joins Bike MS: Sam’s Club Round-Up Ride for 6th YearNow rolling into its 6th year, Massage Envy DFW will take part in the 2013 Bike MS: Sam’s Club Round-Up Ride – scheduled Saturday and Sunday, May 4-5.
By: Massage Envy Brendan McBratney, owner of Massage Envy’s Craig Ranch & Stonebriar clinics and the Frisco North Spa, provides purple cycling jerseys with the Massage Envy logo to Riders Against MS. He was inspired to sponsor the team by founder Rodney Moffitt of Frisco, who was diagnosed with MS eight years ago. Massage Envy believes in giving back to the community, whatever that community might be and in whatever way it can. Helping the people who ride for MS is just one of those ways. “We are proud to support the Riders Against MS in this important event and to help raise awareness of and funding for MS in our community,” says McBratney. “By providing on-site therapeutic massage, we hope to enable all riders to not only complete the ride, but to feel great while doing it. Massage helps reduce fatigue and speeds up the recovery time of athletes.” The two-day, 153-mile bike ride from Frisco to Texas Motor Speedway, organized by the National MS Society, raises funds to help fight multiple sclerosis (MS) and brings awareness about a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. This is the 26th year in North Texas for what has become the premier cycling series in the U.S. In 2012, almost $1.8 million was raised by the Dallas event. According to Steve Vogel in the Carrollton office, this year’s goal is to reach $1.8 million and hopefully $2 million. The Riders Against MS team hopes to raise $20,000. “We really appreciate Massage Envy’s participation in this event. After a long day of riding, the riders are grateful for the massages,” Vogel says. Besides cheering on Riders Against MS, Massage Envy will have a tent at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday. As riders come in from the 81-mile ride, Massage Envy therapists will provide massages to team members and other cyclists to ease discomforts from Saturday’s ride and prepare for Sunday. Massage Envy is the leading provider of massage therapy in the U.S. The ride begins at 7 a.m. Saturday at Frisco’s Dr. Pepper Ballpark and stops overnight at Texas Motor Speedway. On Sunday morning, cyclists will make a lap around the speedway before completing the rest of the ride and circling back to finish at the speedway. An estimated 3,000 riders are expected to take part in the 153-mile ride. Sports massage therapy is one of the options Massage Envy offers clients. Whether professional or weekend athlete, sports massage performed by a licensed massage therapist can benefit anyone. The focus is on areas of the body that are over- or underused and stressed from repetitive, and sometimes unfamiliar, movements. More and more athletes are including sports massage therapy as part of a balanced training regimen. Sports massage can not only reduce recovery time during training or after an event, but it can help an athlete prepare for the activity. The benefits of specially designed sports massage are many: promotes flexibility, reduces fatigue, improves endurance, helps prevent injuries, and prepares the body and mind for optimal performance. Signup continues until the day of the race.
