Did you know that 47% of spa goers are men? According to the International Spa Association President, Lynne McNees “The number one reason both men and women visit a spa worldwide is to learn how to manage their stress. Men and women may deal with stress in different ways, but surprisingly, they both find spas as an outlet.”
Father’s day is a perfect opportunity to share the benefits of stress reduction and pain relief with the men in your life. The following our are top suggestions for gifts for dads (or grandpas!)
Products for Pain Relief:
Tiger Balm patches and salves are great for guys who complain of soreness. Our massage therapists incorporate tiger balm into many sports massages as well. The patches are great self-care and really popular with men.
Kneipp arnica products are another popular choice for guys. The joint and muscle active gel has an instant cooling effect, while the arnica cream is unscented and absorbs into skin quickly. They are great for arthritis pain, bruising, inflammation or tenderness.

I love this photo! Delightful “dudes” getting their feet worked on. I will have to seriously consider this for my dad he would be delightful for you all. ?
Thanks Traci! These guys loved their pedicures and their family gave us permission to share. We have had father son duos in for nail services bring a bottle of beer and relax together too, it is really great. Athletes who are hard on their feet also love our nail care as our nail techs can be really careful with their nails and are just fine to save the calluses they need for running.
