Introduction
For the fact that life in the UK can be quite busy, most people might have placed a UK spa on top of their list to be visited. It is where people go to if they want to be pampered and have time to unwind from their busy and stressful life. Although, a UK spa might be in demand, consumers may not really know the real deal in going to the spa. People may perhaps always associate spa to massage services only. That may be partly true but the truth is a UK spa is not only about massage. There are many treatments one can choose from.
Features
List of treatments one can choose from in a UK spa:
Acupressure. A specific technique used in massage, which releases muscular tension by applying pressure to the acupuncture points, releasing blockages and allowing the energy to flow freely. This is very effective to relieve tension and stress.
Aromatherapy. It uses essential oils (natural oil concentrates, distilled from plants) to aid well being and is particularly effective when used to combat stress and anxiety.
Bio Sauna. Comfortably warm temperatures of 40-55°C provide a pleasant climate. Often combined with essential oils, or the use of colors to relax or stimulate, leaving you feeling calm and relaxed.
Body Wraps. This type of treatment usually involves the application of rich, nutrient substances or crèmes. This can increase the heat of your body and thus increase absorption of the applied lotions, potions or creams and will depend on what type of product is being used.
Flower Baths. Selected flower petals are strewn over pleasantly warm water for a stimulating or relaxing effect. Used alone or as part of a complete therapy.
Hot Stone Massage. Specially selected heated stones are used to massage the body. The stones are applied at varying degrees of heat, wet, onto an oiled body and the effect is similar to a combination of sauna and massage.
Magnet Therapy. It uses electromagnetic fields to treat a variety of conditions, including circulatory problems, certain forms of arthritis, chronic pain, sleep disorders and stress.
Reflexology. A healing process using a specialized massage technique, concentrating on reflex areas in the feet which reflect particular organs of the body. Reflexology is a relaxing method of stimulating the body's self-healing properties.
Scrub. Skin peeling using fine-grained substances such as salts, ground fruit seeds, fine sand and others, which are often combined with a cream to ensure that you are comfortable whilst this is used on your skin.
Thai Massage. Classic Thai massage uses no oil. Stretching movements are predominant and the client remains dressed.
Thalasso Therapy. Comprehensive concept which utilizes the enormous healing power of the sea with marine-based products. Algae, sediments, sand and saltwater are just some of the basic ingredients used for medicinal and cosmetic preparations.
