4. In a four-month-long research effort by Chuan Spa at the Langham
Chicago, spa-goers were surveyed regarding their satisfaction after
receiving a Saltability Himalayan Salt Stone massage. Of the 300
participants, 83 percent report they would prefer to schedule a
Himalayan Salt Stone massage, in comparison to a massage without
Himalayan salt stones, for their next massage. Of those surveyed, 78
percent had not previously received a Himalayan salt stone massage.
“Therapists are able to achieve great results by placing salt stones in
key areas to aid in melting restrictive fascia and work deeply into the
muscles, and the mineral-rich salt stones provide nourishment and
light exfoliation to the skin itself,” said William Wesley Meyers,
regional director of spa, North America, Langham Hotels & Resorts.
