Wellness and self-improvement are key for these Pawleys businesses
January is the perfect time to focus on wellness and self-improvement, and Pawleys Island has several local businesses that will help visitors and local residents to do just that.
Offering massage therapy, fitness facilities, nutrition plans, skin care and more, local businesses welcome people who want to pamper themselves or make improvements in their lives.
We have narrowed these businesses down to the top four best bets in the area, all of which are on the mainland less than 3 miles from the historic island. All four are members of the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce. They are Salt Air Massage and Wellness; Stox & Co. Wellness Cottage; Trinity Body Lab; and Tidelands Pawleys Family YMCA.
Mark Stevens, director of tourism development for the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce, said it is important for people to take time for themselves, especially on vacation.
“These businesses are close by and convenient for visitors to Pawleys Island,” he said. “Whether you need a massage, a place to reach your fitness goals, or if you just want to find products to pamper yourself, you’ll find a variety of great choices here.”

Trinity Body Lab
One of the newest wellness businesses in Pawleys Island, Trinity Body Lab facilitates proactive wellness through custom bodywork and massage, goal setting, nutritional coaching, and strength and mobility training. It also helps people with task stacking and making small incremental changes to achieve goals.
Trinity Body Lab’s mission is to support proactive wellness by pairing custom bodywork/massage sessions with The Trinity Check-In. The Trinity Check-In, created after years of observation, was designed to close the gap between the treatment room and life in real time. Each session at Trinity Body Lab starts with a conversation for self-discovery in body mind and spirit.
