Setting Up An Average Massage Treatment Room in your Spa: Space, Fixtures and Fittings
By ISM on May 2, 2008 in Featured, Spa Management
When setting up your massage treatment rooms, there are a few things you should consider in order to make it both comfortable for your clients and workable for your therapists.
The entire room should be at the very minimum 9×12 feet in size, but preferably larger. Most massage tables are approximately 3 feet wide and your therapist needs at least 3 feet of open workspace around the entire massage table.
The room should be insulated to prevent noise interruptions, painted with washable paint, and have a wood, vinyl, or cushioned floor. Hard tile, marble, or granite floors are too uncomfortable for the therapist to stand on and too cold for clients to walk on.
There should be plenty of storage space that is easily accessible for the therapist. Consider massage tables with storage space underneath or install shelves or cabinetry over the sink and underneath countertops.
Doors and sinks should have lever style handles rather than round knobs to make it easy for therapists with oily hands to turn.
Plenty of electrical outlets should be installed above countertops to provide out of the way space for electrical oil diffusers, sound systems, and other equipment.
