Zubio Inc.
www.zubio.com
Zubio Inc. has developed a unique form of massage, based upon Japanese acupressure, that uses a special chair, allowing people to receive a massage whilst being clothed and seated. Zubio`s mission is to make the benefits of massage accessible to everyone. Professional table massage has enormous physical and mental benefits – but it`s rarely affordable for most people. And since it often requires clients to undress, get covered in oils, and schedule an hour or more out of their day, it is hardly convenient. As a result, regular table massage remains outside the reach – both financially and psychologically – of many people. Zubio aims to transform massage from being a rare luxury into a readily accessible, integral part of people`s health and lifestyle.
