Machine Massage

Aescape’s fully automated robot arms reimagine massage with a full-body scan and machine learning to create a personalized plan for each patient. “This new concept of an on-demand massage puts people in control,” says founder and CEO Eric Litman. A touchscreen lets users direct the two robotic arms’ pressure, target specific areas, and change the music and lighting. Patrons can now book an Aescape massage at some Equinox gyms in New York City, the Kimpton Epic Miami, the Four Seasons Resort Orlando, or the Four Seasons Baltimore (with more locations coming). A 30-minute session starts at $60, but because it can work on both sides of the body at once, Litman says it offers “at least twice the work in half the time you’d spend in a traditional massage.”
