NEW YORK, November 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — This Veterans Day, Zeel is thrilled to announce that it has received the second annual Massage Champion of the Year award from Massage Magazine Insurance Plus. The award recognizes Zeel’s dedication to improving the health of U.S. military veterans by making massage therapy services available through the Veterans Administration’s Community Care program.

The purpose of the Champion Award is to honor and celebrate one group annually whose accomplishments have positively affected the massage therapy field. Criteria for receiving the award include demonstrated commitment to furthering massage therapy as a respected component of health care in the U.S., number of years in existence, and an internal structure that reflects a healthy and competent organization.

“We could not be more honored to receive this award,” said Zeel Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer Alison Harmelin. “It is humbling to know that an organization like MASSAGE Magazine and Massage Magazine Insurance Plus recognizes the years of work we have done to deliver safe, non-opioid pain relief to our nation’s Veterans.”

“There is no population of Americans more deserving of our care and no mission closer to our core values at Zeel,” Harmelin said. “As we continue to expand our massage therapy program to VA Medical Centers across the country, we are so grateful to the team at MASSAGE Magazine for their continued support of this ground-breaking program.”

Through Zeel’s program, Veterans can utilize Zeel’s award-winning app to quickly and easily book in-home or in-office massage therapy sessions with a licensed and credentialed medical massage therapist. Benefits to these patients, according to a survey of more than two thousand Veterans, include pain relief, as well as improved sleep and activity levels. Veterans receiving medical massage also report decreased use of both prescription and over-the-counter pain medications. 

Thousands of Veterans have received medical massage through Zeel across more than forty VA Medical Centers nationwide, and the program is growing by the day. For more on Zeel’s efforts to deliver non-opioid pain treatment to Veterans go to www.zeel.com/va.

Massage is the Ideal Way to Help Reward Hard-Working Nurses

NEW YORK, May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Zeel, the leading tech-enabled platform for bringing health and wellness services to the home or office, works with hospitals to reward nurses during Nurse Appreciation Month.

The COVID-19 pandemic required nurses to work long hours, caring for patients throughout a challenging and unprecedented national health crisis. Now, as COVID settles into an endemic state, patients are returning in record numbers to complete procedures delayed during the pandemic.

Zeel offers the benefit of chair massage in the hospital or healthcare setting and/or the gift of an at-home massage to help reward nurses for all the work they do. Massage is one of the best ways to quickly reduce stress, improve mood, alleviate insomnia and address lower back and neck pain.

“Top hospital administrators are looking for novel ways to make sure their nurses feel appreciated,” said Zeel CEO Samer Hamadeh. He continued, “We’re seeing interest in the programs to show nurses they are deeply valued, not just during Nurses Appreciation Month, but everyday throughout the year.”

The proven effects of these wellness programs include pain reduction or stress relief but also the long-term benefits of reduced absenteeism and improved productivity,” says Dr. John Gallagher, Zeel Health’s Head of MSK.

For National Nurses Month, Zeel@Work has launched a new offering, giving hospitals the option to purchase credits for nurses to enjoy therapeutic massage in the comfort of their home with appointments available 7 days a week, 365 days a year, while continuing to offer their enormously popular on-site chair massage programs.

During National Nurses Week, two New York area hospitals, Phelps and Lenox Hill hospitals, part of New York State’s largest health care system, will show their gratitude to their nurses by offering them therapeutic chair massages.

Zeel@Work makes the booking process seamless, providing a custom signup link for nurses, and bringing the massage table or chair and all other necessary supplies. Additionally, nurses can use their employer contributed FSA/HSA dollars to purchase in-home massages from Zeel.

We’re seeing interest in the programs to make sure employees feel valued not just on Employee Appreciation Day, but everyday throughout the year.”

In 2023 more than half of American workers will be back in the office full-time with more than 40-percent heading into the office several days a week through a hybrid model. “The proven benefits of these wellness programs include reduced absenteeism and higher productivity,” says Dr. John Gallagher, Zeel Health’s Head of MSK.

The in-home vaccination program is free to qualified individuals and their caregivers – and has now expanded to include anyone over the age of 75 and all disabled individuals, and under-vaccinated buildings. The initiative is supported entirely through the New York City Vaccine Command Center. 

“We are thrilled to provide this critical service and honored to be working for our great city,” said Samer Hamadeh, CEO and co-founder, Zeel. “Vaccinating our city’s most vulnerable has inspired our entire team. We feel fortunate to be involved and will continue to dispatch the hard-working nurses on the Zeel platform to as many locations as possible. Our goal is to continue until every homebound, disabled, and elderly individual over the age of 75 in the city is fully vaccinated and then to return to them if a booster becomes necessary in the fall.”

The company expects to vaccinate up to 8,000 individuals between now and late summer.

Since early April, when the program kicked off, Zeel has reached out to thousands of homebound New Yorkers. Jennifer Phan, Zeel’s Project Manager, said, “We have so many inspiring stories to tell. The nurses on the platform have been serenaded by a famous songwriter, offered home cooked food and are often greeted with happy tears. Some of these homebound individuals have seen only their caregiver for more than a year. The loneliness and sense of relief are both palpable.” 

Added Dr. Robert Peters, Zeel’s chief medical officer: “The nurses have been working around the clock. Our front-line workers were the heroes during the pandemic and for Zeel, they are the heroes of this vaccination program.” Zeel schedulers reach out to vaccine-hesitant individuals to reassure them about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine and the importance of getting every eligible New Yorker vaccinated.

NEW YORK, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Zeel, a leading provider of trusted health and wellness services in the home and office, announced today an in-home testing milestone with the administration of over 5,000 COVID-19 PCR Swab Test to its patient network. Responding to increasing patient community demands for access to safe and more convenient testing experiences with rapid and accurate results, Zeel has become the ‘go to’ resource for convenient, reliable in-home PCR testing in the Metro New York area. 

“We’ve seen an incredible response to Zeel’s expansion into in-home medical testing, particularly during this critical pandemic period. Our teams have worked very hard to scale our COVID-19 testing capacity and expand our front-line healthcare network of registered nurses and licensed practical nurses,” said Samer Hamadeh, CEO of Zeel. “The Zeel technology platform continues to meet the changing needs of patients, providers and healthcare systems.

Zeel has partnered with CLIA-certified state of the art testing and diagnostic laboratories to facilitate accurate testing, with results in under 24 hours. 

“My wife wasn’t feeling well and we started to get really nervous that she may have contracted the virus. Rather than potentially expose others at an outpatient facility, Zeel’s nurse came right to our home and we tested the entire family,” said Justin Foa, President and CEO, Foa and Son and long term Zeel client. “We barely disrupted the kids’ online learning, and had peace of mind when the entire family’s negative results were available the very next morning.”

NEW YORK (PRWEB) AUGUST 10, 2020

Zeel has been recognized as one of the “Fastest Growing Companies” by the Financial Times in its inaugural FT Americas “Fastest Growing Companies” list. The ranking lists the top 500 companies in the Americas that have achieved the highest growth in revenues between 2015 and 2018, with Zeel ranking #173 on the list. 

The FT Americas list notably comes at a challenging and uncertain time for the global economy. “We are truly honored to be recognized by such a venerated news institution as the Financial Times, said Samer Hamadeh, Founder and CEO of Zeel. “The FT not only has a deep understanding of what it takes to build a great business, but also how to meet and overcome the unprecedented challenges posed by this pandemic. We have always worked to balance industry-leading technology with the best possible customer experience. This unusual time has given our team the opportunity to truly innovate. The entrepreneurial spirit is never more evident than during times of crisis, so particularly now, we are proud of this recognition from such a prestigious organization.” 

The FT list was compiled with Statista, a research company, and ranks entrants from across the Americas by compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue between 2015 and 2018. Additional criteria include independent companies headquartered in one of 20 American countries with revenue of at least $100,000 generated in 2015, at least $1.5m generated in 2018, revenue growth between 2015 and 2018 that was primarily organic (i.e. “internally” stimulated). The technology sector – which includes Zeel –is led in large part by the US and accounts for a quarter of the overall list.

About the Financial Times & Fastest Growing Companies List 
The Financial Times is one of the world’s leading news organizations, recognized internationally for its authority, integrity and accuracy. It is part of Nikkei, Inc., which provides a broad range of information, news and services for the global community. The FT Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies 2020 is a list of the top 500 companies in the Americas that have achieved the highest growth in revenues between 2015 and 2018. The ranking was created through a complex procedure. Although the search was very extensive, the ranking does not claim to be complete, as some companies did not want to make their figures public or did not participate for other reasons. The project was advertised online and in print, allowing all eligible companies to register via the websites created by Statista and the Financial Times, and additionally promoted through the South American edition of El País. Through research in company databases and other public sources, Statista has identified tens of thousands of companies in the Americas as potential candidates for the FT ranking. These companies were invited to participate in the competition by post, email and telephone. The application phase ran from October 1 2019 to January 31, 2020. The submitted revenue figures had to be certified by the CFO, CEO or a member of the executive committee of the company.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Zeel, the award-winning Massage On Demand® company and global wellness brand, announced today that it has added assisted stretch to its in-home services in New York City. The announcement follows the 2019 nationwide launch of Zeel@Work’s assisted stretching benefit, which joined Zeel workplace services like yoga,  guided meditation, and the ever-popular chair massage.

In addition to improving flexibility, assisted stretching can increase range of motion, reduce muscle and joint pain, boost athletic performance, reduce risk of repetitive stress injuries, and promote relaxation. Zeel in-home assisted stretch makes this vital wellness service accessible to New Yorkers, on-demand.

Assisted stretch services booked on Zeel are performed by certified, vetted, and insured professionals, all personal trainers, massage therapists, or strength/conditioning specialists. After you book on the Zeel app or zeel.com, stretch pros come to your New York City location—home, hotel, or office— in as little as an hour from the time you book. Choose a 45-minute or 60-minute stretch session to suit your stretching needs.

“The launch of in-home assisted stretching in New York City represents our dedication to bringing the best in wellness directly to people’s homes,” said Samer Hamadeh, Zeel Founder and CEO. “The definition of wellness is changing, and we are changing with it, ensuring that access to in-demand modalities are easily accessible to customers. We started by bringing yoga, guided meditation and assisted stretch to businesses, and now we’re expanding to NYC homes and hotels. This is an exciting look at things to come in 2020.”

“My New York clients often carry the highest levels of stress,” said Kelly Stackhouse, Zeel’s assisted stretch advisor and celebrity wellness instructor known for her work on Showtime’s Billions. “In my fifteen years working privately with high profile clientele including athletes, CEO’s, celebrities, and stay-at-home moms, I’ve seen that most people prioritize high impact workout activities to manage stress in their bodies, when we also need to be mindful to incorporate regimens that are soothing and rehabilitating like yoga, massage, and stretching. Stretch focuses on techniques that allow clients to passively connect with the body and feel tension releasing in a completely different way than with massage or yoga. With Zeel now coming directly to homes, it adds an extra layer of convenience and accessibility, and I’m thrilled more people will be able to prioritize self-care in this way.”

Users can book an assisted stretch session in New York City by logging into zeel.com or through the Zeel app for iPhone or Android. Assisted stretch is currently available in locations with a New York City zip code. Employers who want to bring the benefits of assisted stretching to their workplace should contact  Zeel@Work to customize the ideal workplace wellness solution for their team.

NEW YORK, July 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Zeel, the Massage On Demand^® company and global wellness brand, announced today that Nacho Figueras, world-renowned polo player and long-time face of Ralph Lauren, will be joining the company as a Brand Ambassador alongside his wife, photographer and model, Delfina Blaquier.  

Figueras, captain and co-owner of the Blackwatch Polo Team, is one of the top 100 polo players in the world and the unrivaled ambassador of the sport. A noted model, Figueras has been the face of Ralph Lauren’s Black Label and Polo fragrances for more than a decade. When he’s not on the polo field or on a photo shoot, Figueras can be found spending time with his wife and children, traveling across the globe and attending high profile events including the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

“We are thrilled to have Nacho Figueras and Delfina Blaquier join us as ambassadors for Zeel,” said Zeel founder and CEO, Samer Hamadeh. “The two together beautifully balance an intense dedication to sport, career and family, and truly reflect the values of our growing global brand.” 

“Whether I am in Palm Beach, Palm Desert, Greenwich or the Hamptons, Zeel is my go-to recovery resource after a match, a flight, or even just a long day. It gives Delfina and me the chance to relax without missing what is most precious to us: time at home with our children. We could not be more excited to represent a company that not only recognizes the importance of wellness, but values trust and service above all else.”

Delfina Blaquier is an avid art lover, photographer and model. In 2015, Blaquier and Figueras were featured together in a celebrated Valentine’s Day campaign for Ralph Lauren’s Black Label. Yet, despite their many accolades and busy schedules, the two are dedicated to their family and selfcare, making them ideal partners to Zeel. The jet-setting pair – who travel together for the full length of the 7-month polo season – have been together for more than 20 years and share four children between the ages of 6 and 19.

Zeel launched the campaign on November 8 at The Lavelle School for the Blind in the Bronx, New York, providing the 100+ teachers, physical therapists, social workers, and counselors with an afternoon of complimentary massages.
