A spa is a place where people engage in activities for health, beauty and relaxation. These activities may involve massage, fitness equipment for the body and various types of baths. Spas can vary from elaborate wellness palaces to one-room spa salons and everything in between.
A good massage can be a life-changer in terms of how you feel about yourself, how your muscles function and even your overall wellbeing. But what exactly is a good massage? It depends on your individual needs and what you want to achieve. Effleurage is the most basic technique, which involves the hands being skimmed over the surface of the skin in a smooth and constant rhythm, inducing the flow of blood to stretch tissues, and aiding the dispersal of waste products.
Other common spa treatments include a manicure, pedicure and facial. Many spas also offer hair styling and waxing services, and holistic therapies like Reiki and lymphatic drainage.
It’s important to communicate with your therapist about your preferences, especially if you have a specific issue or medical concern. It’s also a good idea to inform the spa ahead of time if you are pregnant, as this may affect treatment options and facilities.
Whether you’re boosting your immune system in a subzero cryotherapy chamber or soaking in a piping hot mud bath, the world’s best spas are a unique luxury escape for mind, body and soul. And as travel slowly reopens and more people get vaccinated, the spa industry is getting creative with new wellness experiences.
