Popular Spa Programs | Relaxation/Anti-Stress
It is common
knowledge that too much stress is bad for you. Lab research has shown that
animals under stress have higher incidences of cancer, stroke and heart attacks.
Other ailments brought on by stress include difficulty sleeping at night and
back and neck pain brought on by tension stored in the muscles. With a concentrated
relaxation program, you are encouraged to lie back, let the stress out and the
pleasure in, concentrating nothing but the pleasant physical sensations. Massage and hydrotherapy encourage the muscles to relax and also increase circulation, which
improves the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Specific essential oils
used during the massages also have physiological and psychological effects,
promoting a relaxed body and quiet mind. Some spas also include exercise and meditation as part of an overall relaxation
program to help the body work out tension and calm the mind, respectively. | |||
