We all have our tools of the trade; a chef with his spatula, a doctor with her stethoscope, a teacher with a black board, and a massage therapist with a massage table. A massage table allows the client to lie down – either face down or on their back – while the massage therapist performs whatever style of massage the client has requested. For both safety and comfort reasons, this table remains an integral tool of a massage therapist.

The Day Spa Association announced on May 5 the release of a new report detailing visits to spas and guest demographics.
The report’s purpose is to help spa owners, manufacturers and suppliers to better understand and define the current trends of day- spa guests.
Among the results:
• Men are still in the minority of day spa guests; however, they spend more and they are more loyal to a day spa facility than their female counterparts.
• People under age 25 spend less money
at a day spa than do older spa guests, yet they are inclined to buy more take-home retail products.
• The 60-plus age group of spa guests is still small in numbers; however, these older guests spend more per visit than do younger spa guests.
The Day Spa Association’s report also addresses spending habits, the most desired service treatments, what guests remember about their spa treatments, how they feel about the pricing and value of services, professional product sales and spa travel trends.
