Spa

Overview

A spa facility either has a full spa setting (including hydrotherapy, nutrition, etc) or may be limited to a day spa. Either way, this is a more luxurious setting with more focus on the little touches that can improve the client experience

Benefits

• Upscale: Wood paneling, thicker walls, more luxurious linens, higher end massage tables, special oils/lotions, etc usually accompany a spa setting
• Facilities: Locker rooms, saunas, pools, etc may be available to enjoy after the treatment.
• Multiple therapy approaches: Other types of treatments, such as body wraps, nutrition, and beauty treatments may also be on the same grounds

Equipment options

• Padded/ heated table
• Hot towels

Potential issues:

• Price: Spas tend to be luxurious experiences—and the price reflects this
• Holistic focus: Spas tend to focus on relaxation, tranquility, and inner peace. This tends not to work as well for those looking for performance or other functional treatments
