WellMassage 4D wins 2016 Wellness & Spa Innovation Award

The WellMassage 4D, created by consultancy Tip Touch International and spa equipment manufacturer Gharieni, has won a Wellness & Spa Innovation 2016 Award.

Bestowed by the German Wellness Association, the Wellness & Spa Innovation Awards are presented to companies that have created “innovative solutions for the wellness and spa market”.

Given at the Beauty Dusseldorf trade fair on March 6, the awards honoured a series of companies across the beauty, spa and hotel sectors. 

WellMassage 4D won in the Beauty and Body Care Treatments category, while natural cosmetics brand Team Dr Joseph won in the Beauty & Body Care Products category.

The Dampfbad D6, a steam room solution from equipment brand Klafs, was honoured in the Hotel and Spa Interior category and the life coaching service at Germany’s Hotel Esplanade Resort & Spa Bad Saarow won in the Hotel and Spa Concepts category.

WellMassage 4D, created by Jean-Guy de Gabriac, founder and chief executive of spa consultancy Tip Touch International and the Gharieni group, has been developed specifically for use on Gharieni’s MLX, MLR and MLR Wet treatment beds.

The massage, which sees the client remain on their back throughout, makes use of the eight different couch positions the treatment beds have, while also incorporating hands-on techniques.

Available as 50 and 80-minute options, the WellMassage 4D comes in two versions: Relax and Deep; the latter developed for clients looking for deep tissue work.
