Local Business Profile: A lot of relaxing for a little price
While it might be the season to be jolly and joyous, students might see it a bit differently — as the season of stress and being strapped for cash, with little or no time to relax.
Riverbed Aqua Massage may be exactly what this time of year needs.
You may have seen them before. They look similar to blue tanning beds, but appearances aside — these things really work.
It's like a human car wash, but you don't get wet and you don't have to get naked — for all those who are a little sketched being bare in front of a stranger.
Once you're in the bed facedown, the lid goes on top, the relaxing music is turned on, and 36 jets of water massage your body over top of lightweight plastic — hence the stay dry part. You can control the speed of the jets, and you can hold them on a trouble spot, something that can't always be done with a human masseuse. Riverbed Aqua Massage aims at not only relaxing clients but also relieving them of any aches and pains.
Brenda Trudel, owner of Riverbed Aqua Massage, said the business took off quickly when she started it four years ago.
“It's unique and people still don't understand it,” she explained. “There's not a lot of businesses like this, it's the only one in London.”
The Riverbed Aqua Massage has fans in the London Knights, runners, and even people who are 90 years old. It is also part of the Six Step Cancer Program developed by the National Association of Professional Cancer Coaches as it helps with circulation and stress, explained Trudel.
So if it sounds intriguing but you're worried about the dent it might make in your wallet, don't worry — Riverbed Aqua Massage is offering both student and holiday specials.
For students, you can decide how long you want your massage to be and therefore what you pay with the “buck-a-minute” deal. Plus, they're making gift-giving easy with their buy three gift certificates, get one free deal - meaning not only can you help others relax, you get a little treat yourself.
And as a special during the always taxing exam period, there will be a two-for-one offer so you and your friends can take a break from the books and take time for yourselves.
