Mindbody, the leading provider of software to global wellness providers, has released its findings from a survey it ran with more than 16,000 Americans.
The 2022 Mindbody Wellness Index found that the definition of “wellness” is evolving which, it claims, presents a myriad of exciting opportunities for the salon, spa and integrated health industries.
In key findings that explored the definition of wellness, Mindbody’s report explains that “wellness” now ecompasses a whole lot more than just being in shape. Reducing stress, feeling confident and having a sense of community, are all key aspects of the new definition – spanning mental, physical and spiritual dimensions.
