Elements Therapeutic Massage Expands into South Carlsbad, Debuts Highly Personalized Massage Approach

It’s a myth that all massages are created equal, and local entrepreneur Scott Wooden, owner of the new Elements Therapeutic Massage in South Carlsbad, is on a mission to help area consumers experience the healing benefits of massage therapy services tailored to meet their unique needs. The new massage studio, located at 3247 Camino de Los Coches, will open its doors on Saturday, June 8.

 Unlike most North County massage retailers, Elements has created a niche in an increasingly competitive industry by specializing solely in massage services and providing a highly customized experience to each client. According to a study from Trajectory Research of 829 massage users, Elements clients reported more than 50 percent higher satisfaction levels than users of independent massage providers or other major franchise massage brands.

 “We’re focused on providing customized massages to every client – our therapists use the right technique and right pressure that you just don’t find at run-of-the-mill massage retailers,” said Scott Wooden. “The Elements franchise was founded on the healing benefits of massage, and we’re looking forward to making a positive impact on the lives of Carlsbad residents.”

Scott earned a PhD in biochemistry from the University of Southern California and spent nearly 25 years working in the pharmaceutical and technology industries. After helping discover and develop many biopharmaceuticals, Scott is excited to enter the massage industry where he can help make an immediate impact on clients’ wellness and quality of life. As a Carmel Valley resident, he stays active in the local community, previously serving as the president and a current trustee of the Del Mar Union School Board as well as a Chief with the local YMCA Adventure Princess program. The Carlsbad location will be the first of three he will open and the first of eight Elements locations to open in North County in the next three years.

Once viewed as an expensive splurge, Elements is making therapeutic massage increasingly affordable and available to time-starved consumers who recognize the value of massage in maintaining their overall health and wellness. Those who receive regular massages benefit from lower levels of stress hormones, a heightened immune system, increase in circulation, etc. Elements has generated strong growth across the country even in a down economy, with a cumulative annual growth rate in system-wide revenues of 27.8% over the last three years. For potential franchisees, Elements boasts a lower investment and cost structure with a smaller footprint, less build-out and lower rent than competitors in the massage retail space, making the franchise more operationally efficient. The new South Carlsbad studio is open seven days a week, welcomes walk-ins and offers a membership program that allows clients to receive regular, discounted massage therapy services throughout each month.
