The times we live in make us want to escape into another world every so often, even if it's just for a few hours, to shut off from external stimulation. This urgent need to 'get away', especially in the urban scenario, is becoming an increasing reality.
So what do you do? This is where a day spa can be a blessing, a place that helps you indulge in some much-needed 'me' time, to switch off and relax, recharge, reflect, detox and beautify. Modern-day spas cater to a range of health-promoting experiences. The healing powers of touch therapy have been expounded on since ancient times. Spas and touch therapies are thus intrinsically connected. The nurturing touch of a skilled therapist's hands on one's body has benefits that go beyond the realm of the physical. So here's my list of benefits you can achieve through Spa massages.
- A massage session is a break from your job, your family, friends... to slow down and de-stress.
- - A massage improves blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
- - Massage stimulates the lymphatic system, which carries away the body's waste products.
- - It has been proved that massage releases a hormone called Serotonin that enhances the body and mind's "feel good" state. When you receive a spa service, your mind, body and soul are in harmony.
- - Professional athletes and fitness freaks, along with physical pampering, experience great relief in easing muscle tensions and cramps through trained therapists and relax every part of their body through deep tissue massages.
- - Pre-natal and post-natal benefits for women is one of the most important factors for experiencing a massage.
- - Massage therapy can help with pain management in chronic conditions such as arthritis, sciatica and muscle spasms.
