Most people lead hectic lifestyles nowadays, trying to balance career with personal life and other commitments. Hence, a regular dose of rejuvenation is needed. For those who have missed it, let your body relax and renew under the skillful hands of spa therapists. Try these unique treatments available during October, the official Wellness Month.
01. Thai Foot Massage
Your feet take a beating every day from walking, wearing shoes, participating in sports, and other daily activities. They deserve to be regularly nurtured. The Thai foot massage is an effective foot care therapy, whether it is received at a Bangkok spa resort or a regular Thai massage parlour. After thoroughly cleansing the feet and applying a natural skin lotion or oil, the feet are thoroughly massaged. During this process, acupressure is applied to different areas of each foot, like the sole, toes, and heel. These well-spaced applications serve to stimulate connected parts of the body, offering deep relaxation and relief.
02. Refresh and Recharge
This treatment cleanses the entire body using a mild herbal scrub that removes dead skin cells and any traces of dirt. Once the cleansing is done, a deep tissue massage is carried out using a warmed, natural aromatic oil and applying acupressure on the feet, body, and reflective trigger points, thus boosting an inner renewal and a complete recharge. Apart from feeling recharged, this treatment results in a glowing skin, enhanced viguor, a sense of relaxation, and improved blood circulation and waste draining.
03. Neck and Shoulder Soother
An ideal treatment for stress relief, chronic anxiety, and sleep deprivation, this soother makes one relax and gradually unwind under the therapist’s skilled hands in this thorough and continuous procedure. Commencing with the gentle stretching of muscles at the neck, shoulders, and arms, the therapist proceeds to use cranial and facial acupressure. This gentle process is followed by doing a soothing back massage using a herbal oil and a salt compress to alleviate pain and stress. This is a popular treatment at the spa of properties such as Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort.
04. Touch Facials
An ideal treatment to keep your face glowing and looking younger. These facials help retain the firmness, reduce the gradually appearing fine lines and wrinkles with the skillful massage techniques, while making the skin look well hydrated and nourished, adding a glow.
05. Hydrotherapy and Thermal Healing
This specialized therapy uses both hot and cold-water therapies, mineral baths, and other techniques to stimulate blood circulation, restoring muscle wear, relief from arthritis, stress, and joint pains, in addition to improved skin health and detoxification. Such facilities have steam rooms, natural hot springs, and cold plunge pools as needed.
06. Body Scrub
This body pampering procedure uses different types of scrubs according to the client’s choice, from nourishing herbal and coconut to antioxidant-rich green tea, or traditional rice-based scrubs. The procedure helps stimulate the blood circulation of the body, helping to make one deeply relaxed and leaving the skin feeling supple and glowing.
