- The present invention relates to the field of children massage therapy, more particularly to the industry site development.
- The use of a massage service in the massage industry is known. Typically the massage facility will include a waiting room and individual massage rooms. While the function of massage facility is known, problems exist for children utilizing these services because in most cases children massage services are not offered. Existing massage facilities have a certain look or design, which are not children friendly. This type of environment will not accommodate a child's psychological requirements for relaxation in order to achieve proper treatment. Developing a children friendly facility will allow the pediatric massage industry expand into a new market.

- Before explaining the disclosed embodiments of the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of any particular embodiment shown, since of course, the invention is capable of other utilization. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
- One utilization of the present invention is a structural system of service.

- Although certain embodiments of the invention have been described, the invention is not meant to be limited in any way to just these embodiments. This is especially true if the location is relatively small or if there is a limited amount of available space. Therefore, locations are often placed in existing buildings, which often must be modified or built out before it is suitable for use.
