Robotic Massages Have Made Their Way Into Mainstream Spas

In a world where technology is continually reshaping our daily lives, even the most traditional of wellness practices are not immune to innovation. Robotic massages have officially entered the spa scene, offering a futuristic alternative to the conventional hands-on experience. This latest luxury is now available at high-end locations like the Lotte New York Palace Hotel, with plans for expansion to over 200 sites by the end of the year, including popular UK spa destinations.

Developed by Aescape, these AI-driven massage tables use advanced robotics to deliver highly personalised treatments. Through a sophisticated system of 3D body scanning, the machines can adapt to the unique contours and needs of each client, ensuring a tailored massage experience. Users have complete control over the session, from adjusting pressure to selecting specific areas of focus, all via an intuitive touchscreen interface.

While these robotic massages may lack the human touch’s subtlety, they excel in efficiency and precision. A 30-minute session on an Aescape table is said to provide the equivalent relief of a 60-minute traditional massage, thanks to its ability to apply symmetrical pressure and work both sides of the body simultaneously. This innovation not only caters to the time-pressed individual but also addresses labour shortages in the spa industry, offering a practical solution without compromising on quality.

The future of relaxation might just be in the hands of robots.
