Renton's Massage Envy to Offer Free Massages for First Responders July 15 to July 19

The Massage Envy clinic in Renton is participating in a region-wide company program in July to thank local first responders for their work and to help with a little stress reduction.

From Monday, July 15 through Friday, July 19, police officers, firefighters and EMTs actively employed in the line of duty are invited to receive one free one-hour therapeutic massage session at any Massage Envy Puget Sound location, according to a press release.

At the same time, the clinics will also be hosting a teddy bear drive to collect toys for children who've suffered through traumatic situations. All teddy bears donated will be given to fire stations, police stations and hospitals within the local community.

The free sessions for EMTs, police officers and firefighters are by appointment only. Participants are encouraged to book as soon as possible as the spots fill up fast. To reserve a free massage session, contact the closest Puget Sound Massage Envy location directly. Renton's clinic is located at The Landing across from Target (1205 North 10th St. Suite C). A list of clinics and contact information is available on the Massage Envy website at http://www.massageenvy.com/regions/WA/Seattle.aspx. 

Proof of employment, such as an ID badge, in one of these organizations will be requested at check-in.

Any Massage Envy members or new visitors who donate a new bear will also receive a free enhanced therapy, such as aromatherapy, with their paid massage session. Teddy bear donations must be brand new and no bigger than 12 inches.

All 23 Puget Sound Massage Envy clinics are participating in the free community massage event and teddy bear drive. Clinics are located in the following cities: Bellingham; Bellevue; Bonney Lake; Covington; Everett; Federal Way; Gig Harbor; Issaquah; Kirkland; Lynnwood; Mill Creek; Newcastle; Olympia; Puyallup; Redmond; Renton; Seattle (Capitol Hill, Northgate and West Seattle); Shoreline; Silverdale; Tacoma and Woodinville.
