Why do spas have age limits?
Here’s a quick answer: while there’s no strict universal rule, many massage spas have their own policies regarding the age of their clients. These guidelines are there for safety, comfort, and ensuring the right treatment for every age group. It is not appropriate to ask for or expect any additional services beyond what is offered in a professional massage setting. Massage therapists follow a strict code of ethics and adhere to professional standards to maintain a safe and respectful environment for their clients.A good rule of thumb for tipping in the massage industry is between 15% and 20% of the total service cost, which is the standard practice in the broader service industry. This range is widely accepted as a standard gesture of appreciation for satisfactory to excellent service, and is a perfectly acceptable tip.
Are spas good for kids?
Young children, especially those under 5, are more susceptible to overheating because their bodies absorb heat faster than adults. This can lead to serious conditions like heatstroke or dehydration. Additionally, hot tubs pose risks like drowning due to suction drains or slips on wet surfaces. Babies or toddlers should not be allowed in the hot tub as their thin skin makes them more exposed to overheating. Their skin is also more sensitive to chemicals, which could lead to irritation too.According to The American Academy of Pediatrics children 0-5 years old shouldn’t use a hot tub or jacuzzi. Kids can overheat, it’s too much for their delicate skin. I was just on vacation in Phoenix Arizona and several kids were going from the swimming pool to the jacuzzi with parents following them.Follow rules for healthy and safe use Don’t let children less than 5 years old use hot tubs. Don’t drink alcohol before or during hot tub use. Shower before you get in the water. If you are pregnant, talk to a healthcare provider before using a hot tub.
