| MASSAGE MANIA! |
The Australian city of Daylesford, located in the state of Victoria, broke the world record for the largest number of simultaneous massages by 96 massages on March 30, 2010. Daylesford’s Massage en Masse event set a world record, with 263 qualified massage therapists and 263 “massagees” taking part in the history-making event. The previous record for the largest ever simultaneous massage was set in Washington D.C. in 2009, with 167 pairs of massage therapists and recipients. Daylesford is referred to by some as Australia’s “spa capital,” as the city boasts the highest number of spa therapists per capita in the country.
