Massage Couch

Plinth 2000 Massage Couch Gets The Spa Treatment

Health hotels, wellness-branded chains, spa treatment for kids, the mindfulness massage, massage Friday sessions and massage-with-a-purpose for disabled and older clients.

These are amongst the strongest current trends in the Spa and Wellness industry, which research firm SRI International says is worth $60 billion (£39 billion) globally, with signs of strong continued growth. In the UK alone, there are around 800 residential, day, leisure club and hotel spas and 35 million customers spend £5.2 billion each year on services and treatments.

With massage services continuing to generate the most revenue from spas generally, averaging 57% of total customer spend, there is clearly market demand for a purpose-designed treatment table and that’s what specialist manufacturer Plinth 2000 offers, with its next generation Spa4 spa couch.

Built to the highest standards demanded by the company’s medical customers, this 4-section model features fully adjustable working height, knee-break, backrest and leg support functions and extra thick upholstery padding, to ensure client comfort during spa massage sessions that typically last between 1 and 1½ hours and sometimes as long as 3-4 hours.

By far the most profitable treatments in the spa revenue mix, hands-on massage techniques like Hot Stone, Deep Tissue, Aromatherapy, Mum-to-be, Sports, Swedish and Shiatsu are amongst the oldest and most trusted forms of therapy, relieving muscular tension, easing stress, improving circulation, tackling pain and stiffness, and generally inducing a state of health and wellbeing.

Now, one of the latest spa and wellness trends, the ‘mindfulness massage’, expands on these regular bodywork techniques, by helping the client’s mind to feel more relaxed through deep breathing and other stress-reduction processes.

Whatever the massage or physio treatment, Plinth 2000 says it is essential to have an extremely stable, comfortable and flexible platform, with no flex or whip, to enable deep manipulation techniques and provide prolonged comfort for clients and therapists. Since spa treatment rooms can be occupied multiple times during the day, with an average turnover of 8 sessions, massage tables should also offer ultra-reliable service and minimum downtime. Plinth 2000 meets these exacting requirements with an extremely robust single-lift frame mechanism, tried and tested electrical and mechanical components, and an average treatment couch service life approaching 16 years, backed by readily-available spares and parts and industry-leading warranty cover.

Designed to the clinical standards required by the NHS, private hospitals and independent practitioners, the Spa4 couch has been specifically enhanced aesthetically and functionally for the Spa and Wellness sector, with 3 inch memory foam, a wipe-clean shroud for the frame mechanism, distinctive Amble leather-touch upholstery and contrasting vinyl corners. Able to lift 225kg from its lowest height, the Spa4 features 2-motor electric operation as standard, for height and knee-break adjustment, with 3- and 4-motor models available for motorised backrest and footrest operation. Robust retractable castors are fitted for excellent mobility and safety in use.

Offered as standard in Sand with Burgundy corners and White with Caramel corners, the fully washable, flame retardant and anti-microbial upholstery is also available in a wide range of fashionable and clinical colours to suit treatment room décor or hotel branding. There is also the option of 4” thick foam for supreme comfort and an accessory pack that includes a face cradle, couch cover and D-shaped bolster cushion. A breathing hole, paper roll holder and wider 76 cm (30”) platform can also be provided.

Made in England, the Spa4 is normally despatched in 7 to 10 days from receipt of order and comes with a no-quibble lifetime warranty of the frame mechanism and a newly-extended unconditional 5-year guarantee on all components, including accidental damage but excluding upholstery, where a prompt replacement service is always available.

At a time when spa visits are on the up and massage treatments are helping to drive profitability, a premium spa couch with an excellent reputation for reliability represents a sound investment at £    excluding VAT.
