Oasis Day Spa Honors Breast Cancer Awareness Month with ‘In the Pink’
Promo - Provides Spa-Goers with Vital Breast Health Info
NEW
YORK, N.Y. (October 2, 2007)—To honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month this
October, Oasis Day Spa in New York
City is running “In the Pink,” an exclusive promotion that gives 15
percent off services and products on Mondays and Wednesdays to customers wearing
pink. “In the Pink” was created to fulfill two purposes: to provide
men and women with vital information about the importance of good breast health
in an atmosphere where they feel comfortable; and to raise awareness about the
healing and stress-reduction powers of massage.
“In
The Pink” will also provide customers with valuable information from the
American Cancer Society that highlights the benefits of massage therapy for cancer
patients. (It is important to note that any cancer patient seeking massage therapy
must discuss options with their physician and choose the massage setting that
is best for them.) The card will also feature: the five steps to Self-Breast Exam;
information about proper bra fittings; and important non-profit and cancer-related
Web sites.
“In our ten year history
we have cared for thousands of women of all ages, many of whom have suffered from
serious illnesses or have friends and relatives with cancer,” says Owner
Bruce Schoenberg. “For many of our female customers going to a spa is less
about pampering and indulgence and more about maintaining good mental and physical
health. Because we are a regular outlet for comfort, privacy and relaxation, we
have the opportunity to educate and spread the message about the importance of
good breast health for women.”
Oasis
hopes that more women, particularly those under 40 and too young for mammograms,
will perform self-breast exams, a potential factor in early detection.
While there are differences between regular and medicinal
massage, a recent Prevention magazine article cited that 20 percent of all cancer
patients in the U.S. seek some form of massage therapy. Massage has been known
to help easy anxiety, depression, stress and nausea. Massage is in no way a preventative
measure or a treatment, and any cancer patient should get appropriate clearance
from his/her healthcare provider prior to scheduling an appointment.
Oasis
Day Spa combines a peaceful and beautiful environment, with a highly trained,
friendly staff, to ensure a memorable and enjoyable spa experience. Oasis Day
is not about spa trends, but offer spa treatments providing the utmost in relaxation
and rejuvenation, along with the latest developments in massage, skincare, hydrotherapy
