Personalilzed Robotic Massages

Massage Envy, "a national leader in skin care and the nation’s No. 1 provider of massage in the U.S. collectively across its franchise network," recently announced the availability of self-guided robotic massages at select franchised locations.

Dubbed Aescape, this new robotic massage service utilizes artificial intelligence and robotic mechanisms to enable users to customize various aspects of their session via a touchscreen interface — from pressure and duration to desired focus areas.

The partnership with Aescape is positioned as an extension of Massage Envy's mission to increase the accessibility and consistency of wellness routines and offer an alternative to traditional therapist-led sessions. Todd Schrader, CEO, Massage Envy Franchising, shared: “Massage Envy’s mission has always been to make wellness a regular part of everyday life. Aescape complements that mission by giving members and guests another way to stay consistent with their self-care. Aescape is also great for people who enjoy exploring new technology, want an alternative convenient recovery option between workouts, or have been curious about massage and find a self-guided format appealing."
