The spa’s minimalist design suggests party time, but it is actually home to a world-beating cognitive health programme designed to bring your grey matter back into balance. Professor Bruno Ribeiro uses a combination of his encyclopaedic knowledge of neuroscience, advanced technology and some very fancy massage tables to help guests reconnect with their inner selves.
In addition to boosting blood flow and relieving stress, a great massage can also improve your sleep patterns by relaxing the muscles that control your breathing and heartbeat. And, as meditation is a regular feature of the experience, it can help combat depression by encouraging you to focus on the here and now, which in turn increases left frontal lobe activity and boosts feelings of positivity.
A good massage can also take away body aches and pain, which is why it’s one of the most recommended treatments by doctors. In fact, some people even go to the spa to get relief from long-term conditions like arthritis and back pain. The trick is to find a therapist who can tailor the experience to your needs by taking into account pre-existing conditions or areas of tension.
