Who Asks for and Gets the Most Back Rubs in Your House?

The guys...Right? When was the last time you saw Dad rubbing Mom’s back while watching TV? That’s because men love their backs rubbed, and women are the nurturers.

With that in mind, it shouldn’t be a surprise that massage therapy for men is on the rise. 40 percent of Rescue’s clients are male. “We’re well ahead of the national average,” says Kande Grabiner, owner of Rescue.

Grabiner attributes the facilities popularity amongst men to her husband Lenn, whose influence is key in Rescue’s culture. “Nobody walks around Rescue in robes, sipping flower water, men just aren’t comfortable with that...but they really appreciate a good massage”, says Lenn Grabiner.

One of Rescue’s frequent clients, Don Gonzales, says, "I go to Rescue once a week. I’ve tried high-end spas, and I believe the convenience and value I get from Rescue is why I return again and again. "

Don’s favorite type of massage is Deep Tissue, and is most popular among men. Therapists utilize slow strokes and deep pressure with the fingers, thumbs or elbows to work into the muscles to relieve and address the source of pain.

In addition to Deep Tissue, Rescue offers a variety of massage techniques such as Sports, Relaxation, Shiatsu and more.
