The rhythms of our lives so far are so demanding that we need to do something for ourselves in order not to get carried away from the routine and the stress of our everyday life.

So what do we actually do? We need to allow ourselves to enjoy the good things in life and offer to our body and mind a pampering day or hour, as a break from this chaos! For this situation, 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. A professional spa centre and a skilled therapist’s hands on one’s body has benefits that go beyond the realm of the physical. So here’s a list of the benefits you can achieve through a spa day with a massage treatment and not only that!

– 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.

– By indulging in body contouring services at a spa, you can keep the extra pounds off and keep your body in shape and beautiful.

– Body polishes gently exfoliate your skin, promoting cellular renovation, refining pores and gives your skin uniform relief.

– Water treatments feed the soul. Like life, water is yin and yang; when your body is submerged in water you find true balance, as water provides the equilibrium.

– Heat treatments in the form of either warm, dry air or warm, moist air heat the body to stimulate blood circulation, initiating the purifying process.

– Therapeutic muds in either ‘rasuls’ or ‘serial’ chambers, exfoliate dead skin cells, eliminate toxins and increase circulation.

– Body wraps are exceptionally beneficial as a quick way to remineralise the body, replenish it with nutrients and elements lost on a daily basis, thus boosting moisture in your skin, helping to rejuvenate and relax you.

– In contrast to heat treatments, cold water or ice applied to the body have been proven to stimulate the circulatory, lymphatic and immune system.
 Everyone wants to feel pampered as a unique and individual person, wants to look young and feel confident. Therefore, spas have additional beauty/skin care brands as part of their repertoire, actively promoting personalized facial treatments as well, and regular skin care sessions.

So as a conclusion we need to consider that as much as busy we are, as much as pressure we have in our daily program we have to make sure to find some time for ourselves, to pamper our skin, take care of our body and offer peace and relaxation for our mind. It’s necessary so we can continue unharmed and dynamically our lives.
