The idea of a Spa Day often has the air of indulgence for many but, spa services are part of a healthy lifestyle routine. Spas, in one form or another, have been used for centuries; Roman bathhouses were a place of healing through water and heat. Today spas offer a wide variety of services designed not only for relaxation but, for therapeutic and restorative purposes.
Relaxation
Yes, whether it is one service or a days-long spa trip, one of the main benefits of a spa is relaxation. It is a time to disconnect, in a society that almost never completely turns off. We spend our days in front of screens, constantly consuming media and in constant communication with work, family, and other responsibilities. Unfortunately, when this type of 24/7 inundation is the norm, true relaxation gets pushed to the side or disregarded. Relaxation is extremely important in maintaining a healthy mind and body. It allows our bodies to return to stasis, to reset, this is important in stress management. Stress related illness is becoming a serious issue in our fast paced society and one way to help manage your stress levels is to unwind in an environment that is specifically designed to create a peaceful and restorative experience.
Maintenance
Just like with any health regimen you do not see results unless you maintain a regular routine. With facials, it is important to continue to expose cells to products that aid in cell turnover, repair, and rejuvenation. Regular massage ensures that therapeutic progress continues to be made with recommended treatment from your massage therapist. Whatever your goals, it is extremely important to stick to the schedule that you and your specialist have agreed to. Many spas offer series or packages to help make your trips more cost-effective.
Cost-Effectiveness
Speaking of cost-effectiveness, how much does a day off cost you? A vacation? Medical bills for stress related illness & injury? Or, heck, a couple of bottles of wine? When compared to the benefits and actual cost, a regular spa trip saves more pennies and doesn’t add more stress to your life.
