The UK Spa Association has announced National Spa Awareness Week 2013, which will run from the 4th to 8th November.

The association has teamed up with the International Stress Management Association (ISMA) to help raise awareness of the stress relieving treatments and therapies the spa industry can offer.

Participating spas and salons simply need to run an event during the week which includes stress management advice and sample treatments.

“We know that stress is responsible for over 50 per cent of all work-related illnesses,” said head of the UK Spa Association, Charlie Thompson.

“By raising awareness and educating consumers, and in particular the business community, of the health benefits of regular massage and spa treatments, we're ideally placed to provide a proactive and preventative solution to help control this problem.”
