Key West spa facilities are notorious for their high-end prices, with a popular Key West massage costing as much as $400 for a full-body massage at the spa.
But a new study shows a new massage is the real deal, costing as little as $20.
In a series of experiments, researchers have found that the average Key West masseur can earn as much money by offering massages to guests as they can by giving massages.
“The Key West experience has been characterized by the use of a very high-tech and high-pressure environment,” said Daniel L. Linn, a professor of marketing and economics at Dartmouth College and an expert in spa economics.
“The masseurs are able to achieve a very precise technique in their hands that can be quite effective.
But I believe it is the difference between the massages you get and the massaging you get in a traditional massage, that is really what makes it unique.”
Key West Massages, a brand of massages that began in the 1970s, was created by massage therapist and masseur Richard DeLaet.
It’s known for the massagers, known as “Masters,” who use their hands to massage customers.
Massages in this type of setting are typically conducted by a trained master masseur.
But the newest study, published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, found that in one of the largest and most sophisticated studies to date, Linn and his colleagues found that Massagers, like most massages in the spa industry, earn as little money as they make by selling their services.
The study found that massagers earn $30 to $40 per hour for massages at Key West’s Key West, Florida resort, and another resort in Florida, Palm Beach.
They also earn $20 to $50 per hour at other Key West facilities in the resort and $30-$60 per hour in other Key South facilities.
But, the researchers found, masseurs in Key West are able earn $50-$80 per hour, compared with Massagers earning $10-$20 per hour.
Linn said he believes the higher wages can be explained by the fact that Massages offer more customized, personalized care.
“We found Massagers were more willing to share their knowledge and expertise with the masseur,” Linn said.
“This is because Massagers are able make more money than Massagers who don’t have a Massage Therapy Center.”
For a Massager, it’s about providing the best service possible and being a good listener, Lins said.
It is important to find Massagers that are comfortable in their own skin, who know how to work with clients, who have mastered the art of massaging, and who are able and willing to listen to you.
Massagers can also make money by charging their clients for massaging if they are unable to do so themselves.
“When we find Massages who can do that, it gives us a tremendous amount of confidence in them,” Lins added.
“Massage Therapy Centers are the most cost-effective way to earn a living,” Lips said.
But they are not the only option for Massagers.
In the Key West study, Massagers could earn as low as $15 per hour by offering their services at an “assistive use” facility, which is a “massage and massage therapy facility that specializes in the management of a client’s emotional state and/or health issues, such as anxiety and/ or depression.”
But in Key South, Massages can earn up to $20 per session at these facilities.
“In a Massaging Therapy Center, Massager may be the one providing the massage and it is usually the massage therapist who serves the client.
But the Massager must have the knowledge and experience to know how the client responds to Massages,” Lint said.
The Massager also needs to be trained and comfortable in the Massage room, he added.
Massage therapists can also earn as high as $60 per session in the Key South study, compared to $30 for Massager.
“Most Massagers will do most of their work in the massage room, and they can get paid for their time there,” Lints said.
A Massager can earn between $30 and $60 for each session, but most Massagers make between $10 and $20 for each Massage session, he said.
“A Massager who has mastered Massage therapy can make more than $100,000 a year,” Luns said.
Massager training can also help Massagers earn more money.
“Massage therapists in key West are generally well-trained and well-paid,” Lens said.
They are also able to spend more time with their clients, Lens added.
“Most Massages are done by the end of the week and Massagers may be required to be in the clinic for several hours at a time,
