Not Your Stereotypical Father's Day at the Spa

LEXINGTON, Ky., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Classic dad activities like mowing the yard, playing catch and road tripping all have one thing in common - they wreak havoc on dear old Dad's health.  Never one to worry about his appearance, Dad is probably oblivious to the damaging effects of the sun.  Not to mention his sore back from years of pushing the mower and driving the family cross country.  This Father's Day, help him out by booking a spa visit.  He might not know he needs one, but after he's experienced a relaxing treatment, he'll be hooked.

"Father's Day is the perfect time to introduce men to the spa lifestyle," said International SPA Association President Lynne McNees. "You can learn everything from stress reduction techniques to healthy cooking at the spa.  It's important to get your dad on the right track because studies show that by 2020, the top five diseases will all be stress related."
