Rapidly Growing Elements Massage™ is Creating Jobs in Wisconsin

Highlands Ranch, CO, May 18, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Elements Massage™, one of the most successful franchised massage brands in the United States, is continuing to expand in Wisconsin, and is adding jobs in multiple markets throughout 2015 and beyond. Elements Massage™ currently has two stores in the Milwaukee metropolitan area and three in the Madison area. Additionally, two more studios will be added in the Milwaukee area by the end of the year. The growth of this established franchise is creating dozens of job openings for massage therapists, both current and in the future.

“I chose to join the health and wellness industry as an Elements Massage™ franchisee to bring something new to Wisconsin, customized massage therapy focusing on therapeutic health and wellness benefits,” said Aimee Matchette, owner of the Elements Massage™ studio in Whitefish Bay. “We are excited to be adding 50-75 jobs for massage therapists in this state and we feel The Elements Way™ is perfectly suited to maximize the abilities of our great therapists and give our clients the massage that they deserve.”

"Over the last five years, consumers, as well as the medical community, have really started to acknowledge the many benefits of massage, creating a huge demand for our services."

Jeff Jervik, CEO of WellBiz Brands, Inc.

According to Allianz Life, nearly half of respondents in a recent survey* say health and wellness will be the most important area of focus in 2015, a trend that Elements Massage™  has been well ahead of the curve in delivering to its clients. The brand is ready to build on past year’s momentum to gain an increasing market share through unit growth across the country and specifically in Wisconsin.  In 2014, revenues were up 37-percent system-wide with the over 200-unit massage franchise opening the doors to 33 new studios.  The company projects an additional 40 studio openings in 2015, and is planning to enter the international market with studios in Canada.

“Over the last five years, consumers, as well as the medical community, have really started to acknowledge the many benefits of massage, creating a huge demand for our services," says said Jeff Jervik, CEO of WellBiz Brands, Inc.  "As we grow our presence in communities across the U.S. and bring the Elements Massage™ brand to Canada, we will continue to focus solely on our customized therapeutic massage services, providing Elements Massage™ clients with the massage they deserve.”

Massage continues to entice new clients across the country as information is constantly discovered about how the natural form of therapy can be utilized as a treatment for pain management, soreness, stiffness, spasms, injury rehabilitation, and overall wellness. The now mainstream understanding that therapeutic massage services are not just for vacations and spa retreats is contributing to rapidly increasing growth in the nearly $10 billion massage industry. This rapid growth in the industry has also created a great opportunity for job growth, particularly with Elements Massage™ in states like Wisconsin.

In addition to rapid growth in the state, Elements Massage™ studios will be looking to hire a thousand new massage therapists nationally in 2015 alone. Great massage therapists combined with comfortable working environments help make Elements Massage™ the highest-rated massage in the industry.   

Elements Massage™ franchise owners may offer employees benefits such as continuing education programs, a nurturing team environment singularly focused on massage therapy and an opportunity to earn consistent income with regular clientele.

Elements Massage™ ranked No. 340 on the 2014 Franchise Times Top 200 List. Additionally, Elements Massage™ was recently included in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2015 Franchise 500® ranking, positioned at No. 208.
