WORCESTER, Mass. - A new spa in Worcester hopes to become the leading location for sports massage in the area.

Sea Grass Therapies Sports Massage offers services like facial masks, massages and spa treatments to athletes in Central Massachusetts. They say their goal is to help people reduce the amount of stress they have, but also encourage healthier habits like exercise, a diet and how to sleep better. While they'll focus on athletes, they'll also offer services to first responders and area residents. The team at the spa was joined by city leaders, including the Mayor, for a ribbon cutting ceremony Saturday.

“We are anxious to be more involved in the community so we are able to get into any events going on, whether it's fundraising," said co-owner Carol Parker-Schutt. "We're definitely here to support all the athletes and especially any teams that are out here who need these types of treatments. We are also here to support our first responders. So we do have services we offer the union workers. That goes with nurses, teachers, policemen, firefighters.”

SGT is currently the official massage therapist of the Massachusetts Pirates. They also have a sponsorship with the Worcester Railers. There's also a location in North Andover.
