Not Your Stereotypical Father’s Day at the Spa
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Classic dad activities like mowing the yard, grilling, playing catch and road tripping all have one thing in common – they wreak havoc on dear old Dad’s health. Never one to worry about his appearance, like most moms, Dad is probably oblivious to the damaging effects of the sun. Not to mention his sore back from years of pushing the lawn mower and driving the family cross country to the Grand Canyon. This Father’s Day, help him out by booking a relaxing spa visit. He might not know he needs one, but after he’s experienced a relaxing massage or soothing facial, he’ll be hooked.
“Father’s Day is the perfect time to introduce men to the spa lifestyle,” said International SPA Association President Lynne McNees. “You can learn everything from how to reduce stress to healthy cooking at the spa. It’s important to get your dad on the right track because studies show that by 2020, the top five diseases will all have the underlying contributing factor of stress.”
