spa massages both have their benefits. Blys, as a consumer platform, allows clients to customise their massage to suit their needs. You can choose your massage date, time, length, style, location and preferred gender of your therapist. Since Blys operates from 8am to midnight every day of the week, clients enjoy the convenience and flexibility that a mobile massage service provides. Bookings can also be made on the same day to fulfil your sudden massage cravings. Blys therapists can also provide health fund rebates depending on your provider and massage type.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blys_benefits\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blys benefits<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convenient \u2013 no travel, parking or traffic required<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexible \u2013 therapists operating 7 days a week from 8am-12am and works to fit your schedule<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No tools required \u2013 your therapist will bring everything they need<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customisable \u2013 choose your date, time, style, location, therapist<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Massage packages and massage vouchers available<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health fund rebates available<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Same-day bookings and \u201crebook\u201d options possible<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head to our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.getblys.com.au\/support\/solutions\/33000134882\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for all the details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A day spa provides an atmospheric, dedicated space designed to maximise relaxation. Some day spas, like the various Endota Spa locations, also provide complementary services like comfortable waiting lounges and organic teas, which is great for after the drive. Pamper packages and gift cards are on offer at some day spas, such as an Endota Spa voucher. These establishments usually have their own products for sale for beauty or skincare.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_Spa_benefits\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Day Spa benefits<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dedicated, atmospheric space (because sometimes it\u2019s just nice to get away from the household ruckus)<br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complementary services (tea, lounge, sauna) available<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Products available for purchase<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_your_massage_going_to_be_genuine\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is your massage going to be genuine?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s one very important thing to consider when you\u2019re arranging your next massage, and that is that day spas are, for the most part, foremost for beauty therapy. This means that while these establishments may offer massage therapies (even branding them as \u201cspecialty\u201d massages such as &#8220;relax massage&#8221; and &#8220;pregnancy massage&#8221;), this is not a guarantee that the services they provide are legitimate, standardised massage therapy treatments (that\u2019s a mouthful). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for Blys, every therapist holds a minimum of Certificate IV qualification in massage therapy and has a minimum 200 hours practical hands-on professional experience, is thoroughly vetted, qualified, and experienced in a variety of massage forms, including remedial massage. These qualifications can require years of study and incorporate an understanding of body sciences and physiology. In contrast, massage is just a tiny element of Beauty Therapy courses \u2013 as little as one day\u2019s training! Just something to remember when choosing where to have your next massage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we have that little disclaimer out of the way, let\u2019s look at some figures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15878 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4412-crop-e1549925641407.jpeg\" alt=\"day spa\" width=\"777\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4412-crop-e1549925641407.jpeg 777w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4412-crop-e1549925641407-300x153.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4412-crop-e1549925641407-768x392.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose we can look at the numbers, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crunching_the_numbers\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crunching the numbers<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve looked at the numbers for 7 other establishments that offer massage \u2013 three hotel spas and four day spas. Of the four day spas we analysed, a 60 minute massage will cost an average of $119, which is $20 more than a 60-minute Blys massage in whatever style you prefer. From the three hotels we sampled, we\u2019ve calculated that for a 60 minute massage you\u2019ll probably pay $180 on average.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blys has hotel partnerships around Australia that offer the same competitive home prices with the convenience of in-room service. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/our-massages\/hotel-massage\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In-room hotel massage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is just as sophisticated and fancy as a hotel spa would be, just without the extra glitz and fluff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15902 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/60-mins-comp.jpg\" alt=\"day spa\" width=\"493\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/60-mins-comp.jpg 439w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/60-mins-comp-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_best_deal\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the best deal?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At their cheapest, Endota offer a 30-minute express massage, which is great if you\u2019re short on time and want a quick fix for tension in the shoulders or back. However, if those minutes are what you\u2019re lacking, you\u2019ve got to consider travel time. Endota trading hours vary by location, with some stores closing at 6pm and others open as late as 8pm. If you can nip in to your closest store after work, more power to you. If not, Blys therapists operate from 8am-midnight every day of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A home massage does not have to be rushed in after work hours before the spa shuts \u2013 with home massage services, your home is the spa! Endota\u2019s express massage is 29%* cheaper than a Blys massage, but 50% shorter, so essentially you\u2019ve paid for 71%* of a 60 minute Blys massage (in a style of your choice, no less). For just $29* more, you could receive a massage that is twice as long and requires no travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A standalone one hour Endota massage is $120*, which is 17.5%* pricier than a 1-hour Blys massage. The longest Endota massage is 40 minutes shorter than the longest Blys massage. Endota\u2019s prices vary by location, and \u00a0since they offer a range of spa packages \u2013 massage alongside facials and manicures \u2013 it might be worth paying a bit more to incorporate these little extras into your spa day. At least then you\u2019re getting the most out of your trip to the day spa (before you\u2019ve got to travel home again).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15907\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4685-1024x683-1.jpeg\" alt=\"day spa\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4685-1024x683-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4685-1024x683-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4685-1024x683-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4685-1024x683-1-900x600.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*based on lowest advertised price.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_massage_bring_all_the_boys_to_the_yard\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does massage bring all the boys to the yard?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we\u2019re being honest, we know that the men of the world might be feeling a little left out by all this chat of \u201cday spas\u201d and \u201cpampering\u201d, but the truth is that they need it just as much as women do! In fact, 40% of our client base here at Blys is male. Endota brands itself as a women-centric spa, and this is a common theme in the day spa world. This is probably due to association with, and advertising of, beauty services like a facial, mani-pedis, waxing and the like. Women make up 95% of Endota\u2019s team, which aligns with this idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a recent look into our own booking requests has revealed that there has been a spike in the request for male massage therapists (from bookings made by men and women). This likely correlates to the aftermath of the sports season and subsequent preference for stronger massages, like a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/our-massages\/remedial\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deep tissue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/our-massages\/sports\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sports massage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That isn\u2019t to say that female therapists can\u2019t provide ripper remedial massages \u2013 of course they can! \u2013 but the notion of male therapist equals strong massage is another common one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15909\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4471-1-1024x683-1.jpeg\" alt=\"day spa\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4471-1-1024x683-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4471-1-1024x683-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4471-1-1024x683-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/D46A4471-1-1024x683-1-900x600.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line is yes, massage can bring all the boys to the yard, and leave them feeling better for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_in_it_for_the_therapists\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s in it for the therapists?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be wondering how Blys manages to provide top-quality massages at such competitive prices. Amazingly, therapists aren\u2019t paid in peanuts \u2013 quite the opposite, in fact. Whilst the average day spa rate is $25 an hour, Blys therapists earn three times that much at $75 an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve asked therapists why they like being a part of the Blys community. Straight from the horses\u2019 mouths:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexibility of work \u2013 I choose where and when I work<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convenience \u2013 Blys handles marketing, payments and customer service so I can do what I love and focus on my clients<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good rates \u2013 Great rates that value my time and supplements my income<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great community \u2013 I enjoy going to the meetups and events that Blys organises and connecting with my peers in the industry <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_what_do_I_choose\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what do I choose?!<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to decide which service is right for you is to ask, \u201cwhy do I even want a massage?\u201d Day spas and hotel spas offer specialised beauty therapy massages that aim to pamper, spoil and make you feel queenly, so if you\u2019re after a pampering \u2013 maybe want some scented balms and nice creams slathered all over your body \u2013 then a spa might well be the place for you. They can be atmospheric and designed to set the desired mood. Some offer lounge, beverage and sauna rooms, which is great if you want to spoil yourself or the girls to a day at the spa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a spa close by and want to feel glamorous and experience the soothing atmosphere of a lovely getaway like Endota, then go for it. Just keep in mind that Day Spas tend to operate within traditional 9-5 work hours, so it can be very tricky to work out a time to get there. Stores in the Endota Spa Sydney and Endota Spa Melbourne chains open at 10am and close as early as 5:30, which is a narrow window for weekday warriors. When you tack on travelling to and from the spa (which may just end up undoing the whole relaxation process) you\u2019ve got some pros and cons to weigh up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15880\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/D46A5014.jpg\" alt=\"day spa\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/D46A5014.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/D46A5014-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/D46A5014-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blys also offer those <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/our-massages\/swedish\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relaxing massages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that leave you feeling pristine, and do it without having you set foot outside (and risk spoiling the afterglow). Blys home massage therapist take travel, time and stress out of your massage to maximise your comfort and convenience, perfect for the busy mum, working dad or on-call businessperson.

Fortunately, therapists on the Blys platform are trained in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/our-massages\/remedial\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remedial deep tissue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/our-massages\/sports\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sports massage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> therapies, with the added convenience of travelling to your home, office or hotel (because we know those pangs can be pretty rough). By the time work is over for the day, you can really start to feel the strain of the desk or heavy lifting. With therapists operating until midnight every day of the week, sliding a massage into your schedule is so easy. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/our-massages\/pregnancy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy massages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are also available to target the unique nags and aches of expecting mums.
