Spa is a term that can be used to describe any place where people go for relaxation or treatments. These can range from elaborate wellness palaces with a variety of water-based therapies to affordable one-room salons. Regardless of size or business model, most spas are dedicated to the idea that good health starts with holistic self-care.
In the simplest sense, massage is the rubbing or kneading of a person’s soft tissues (including muscles, skin and tendons) for the purpose of stress reduction, pain relief and general well-being. Different types of massage use a range of techniques, including those applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearms or feet, and they may be combined to achieve specific results.
The calming effects of a good massage are well documented. Whether you need a little pampering before a big event, are in need of some stress-relief or want to relax after an intense workout, a great massage can make all the difference.
It’s important to let your massage therapist know if you have any allergies or medical conditions before the treatment begins. Also, be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get ready after the massage; you don’t want to rush into work or start a kids’ soccer practice right after!
Spas can be a fun and indulgent way to spend some alone time, take a romantic trip with your significant other or kick back with your best friends. New York City’s top-notch spas range from boosting immunity in a subzero cryotherapy chamber to easing sore muscles in a piping hot mud bath or rejuvenating the skin with a red wine ‘vinotherapy’ scrub.
