Add Some “Spa Therapy” to Your Life!

By Ginger Lettelleir

Recently I was talking to a friend who told me that he has never had a massage. He said, “Guys don’t get massages.” This was surprising to hear considering the many benefits of regular massage therapy.

Spa therapy is a way to provide a reset for your body and mind. Spa therapy can offer you an enjoyable way to release accumulated stress from your body, plus reap the benefits relaxation can provide as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Spa therapy has existed since ancient Roman times. It was reserved for royalty to provide physical and spiritual healing. Today’s modern spa therapy includes various types of massage therapy, including deep tissue, stone massage, facials, body treatments and more. The purpose of a spa remains the same throughout the ages…to provide a space where you can go to relax your body and mind. All of the treatment options are designed to help your body relax and release built-up stress and tension.

Spa therapy can also reduce inflammation in the body, improve circulation, and enhance the body’s autoimmune response. Additionally, going to a spa to relax can improve your self-esteem and improve mental clarity. A day filled with relaxation and focus on the self can also have a positive impact on your mental health. Spa therapy can help renew your spirit and allow space for your mind to regain clarity.

Achieving a state of relaxation regularly is necessary to allow your mind and body to recover from the physical impact of stress that you deal with throughout the day. Spending the day at the spa enjoying a deep tissue massage can release the built-up stress that manifests as tight muscles in your neck and shoulders. This release of tension allows the muscles to relax, and in turn, the mind relaxes too.

A facial involves cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating the face while giving your facial tissue a light relaxing massage is sure to put your mind at ease. It also relieves tension in the head and neck, which can reduce headaches.

Let’s not forget to treat our feet to much needed love. This is another opportunity to promote relaxation. By focusing on the muscles in the lower legs and feet your body will increase blood flow to the joints. Adding aromatherapy to the foot spa experience enhances the feeling of relaxation by acting on several senses simultaneously. Regular spa treatments result in enhancing your life in many ways. Adding some spa therapy will help you slow down, unwind, and achieve balance. I hope I’ve convinced my friend that spa therapy is good for ANY body!
