What is "SPA"?

Today, SPA is not only cosmetic procedures, but a full-fledged ritual. Thanks to it, the condition of the skin improves, the body rejuvenates, the body relaxes and metabolic processes are activated.

The term is interpreted differently: some believe that the abbreviation SPA stands for Sanus per Aquam (“health through water”), others are inclined to believe that the set of procedures is named after the Belgian resort of the same name, which became famous for its healing springs.

What types of SPA massages are there?

Classical

Russian SPA massage, which is a classic system, is applied to the whole body. It refers to therapeutic, restorative and relaxing massages. Deep study helps cleanse the lymphatic ducts, improve the general condition of the body, strengthen the muscle corset, relieve swelling and pain. To strengthen the effect, masters additionally use wraps made from medicinal mud, pearls, algae, chocolate, essential oils or sea salt. The average session duration is 1.5 hours.

Spanish

Spanish massage differs from Russian and anti-cellulite massage in its plasticity, softness and depth of elaboration. It is always performed using the entire surface of the palm, and the basis of the technique is stroking. The session lasts about an hour, and as a result, complete relaxation of the muscle tissue is achieved. Despite its smoothness, the massage has a pronounced positive effect: the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system is restored, the condition of the central nervous system, muscle structure, and blood circulation are improved. The condition of the skin improves, the volume of the body decreases. The advantage of the procedure is quick visible results, which are usually secured by applying nourishing lotions, essential oils and serums to the skin.

French

The French massage system includes:

• Lymphatic drainage treatment, which consists of a gentle massage effect on the lymphatic system;
• Metabolic, aimed at improving metabolic processes;
• Chiroplastic, based on irritation of nerve receptors and improvement of regenerative processes.

The average duration of each type is 1.5 hours. The French system is effective in the fight against cellulite, excess weight, metabolic disorders, swelling, and age-related changes in the skin. Regular sessions allow you to get rid of wrinkles without plastic surgery, get rid of rosacea and strengthen your overall immunity.

Honey

This massage is usually performed for women: it involves applying honey to hairless skin. Honey can be applied pure or with the addition of a few drops of citrus esters. Massage can affect the deep subcutaneous layers, which leads to rapid relief from fatigue, elimination of cellulite, recovery from injuries and heavy physical activity. The honey technique, which helps improve the movement of biological fluids, also has a beneficial effect on tissue trophism. After the session, the skin becomes firm, soft and elastic, maintaining a healthy and natural color for a long time.

Thai

Like French, Thai SPA is a whole complex. It consists of elements of yoga, strength and classical techniques, and work with human energy fields. Thai techniques include more than 70,000 techniques, but the most important of them involve pressing on energy points to ensure the free movement of prana throughout the body. Through stretching techniques and working out energy meridians, fatigue, muscle tension, and pain are relieved. Joints gain mobility, a new body silhouette is formed, and muscles become more elastic. Thai technique is used to treat headaches and arthritis, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and genitourinary system in women, stress, chronic fatigue, and chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Stone therapy

The massage combines aromatherapy and thermotherapy techniques and uses different natural stones. Masters explain the healing effect of stones by cosmic and earthly energy that pulsates in the minerals. Earth helps cope with stress, cleanses the body of negative thought forms, strengthens the immune system, and calms thoughts. Cosmic - brings the energetic and physical body into harmony. Stone therapy can be local and include only a massage of the hands or face, feet, and back. And can be used for the whole body. The effectiveness of the procedure in activating metabolic processes, improving well-being, and a feeling of mental balance. Hot stones improve the movement of biological fluids, help relax muscle tissue and normalize blood pressure. Cold - eliminate pinpoint and congestion, enriches tissue cells with oxygen, improves the functioning of the ANS and reduces pain.

Philippine

Filipino massage is based on natural essential oils and mixtures. This is a tonic, rejuvenating, correcting and cleansing system for the body. It includes:

1. Hilot treatment, consisting of manual influence on the vertebrae, joints, and ligaments. Accompanied by the use of coconut oil, banana or palm leaves. The work is done both with fingers and with wooden balls and sticks;
2. Treatment of Ventosa, which affects the muscles of the body and connective tissue. This is done using candles and several ceramic jars.

The result of regular sessions is the activation of the movement of biological fluids, achieving harmony with oneself, getting rid of phobias, stress, depression, curing many diseases and improving immunity. Massage prevents the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and helps to recover from injuries. Sessions are prescribed for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, arthrosis and arthritis, disorders of the central nervous system and after a stroke or heart attack.

Exotic species

SPA procedures include not only standard treatment, during which various oils and additional accessories are used. Exotic species are gaining increasing popularity in Russian and European salons:

• Snake massage;
• Snail massage;
• Tickle massage;
• Massage with cacti;
• Massage with hot pancakes;
• Herbal bags;
• Hawaiian, using traditional prayers, oils and infusions from the islands;
• Massage with singing bowls;
• Jade;
• Cryomassage, etc.

These procedures have different purposes. Snake massage is designed to cope with phobias and helps to achieve a state of deep peace; cryotherapy is used to remove age spots and increase skin elasticity. Insomnia and central nervous system diseases are successfully treated with the help of Tibetan singing bowls.

SPA treatments can be visited daily if there are no contraindications.

They help to relax, improve skin condition, cope with cellulite and other age-related changes. Many procedures have a pronounced therapeutic effect and have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the entire body. Before the session, be sure to exfoliate the body to cleanse the pores, and then apply nourishing oils or lotions, giving time for rest and recovery. The duration of the procedure depends on the type of massage: if snake massage lasts about 20 minutes, then Thai can last up to 3.5 hours. The number of sessions is selected individually and depends on the indications, skin condition and sensitivity to the procedures.

Spas around the world have recently faced this problem. Attracting the attention of customers is not an easy task, but those spa hotels that acted on the principle “Everything new is well forgotten old” did an excellent job of it. So, FashionTravel presents to your attention a list of the most fashionable exotic spa programs, compiled on the basis of centuries-old experience of traditional medicine and which have won the hearts of the most demanding tourists this year. Maldives: Shark Massage

All fans of the water kingdom should definitely visit the Maldives, where a unique underwater spa center is located, built at an eight-meter depth under the Huvafen Fushi Resort hotel. There are 8 treatment rooms for clients. Particularly popular here is the exotic spa program - massage using hot herbal oil and sand from the bottom of the ocean. During the procedure, you will have the opportunity to watch through the glass the life of such sea predators as a huge reef shark or a “sea devil”. Combining business with pleasure in this underwater oasis at the Huvafen Fushi Resort hotel will cost you about 300-400 euros. Japan: and you, my dear, are fish food!

The new-fangled exotic spa program “Fish Doctor” is spreading at the speed of light to all spa hotels in Turkey, Japan, Korea, Croatia and China. To try this procedure for yourself, you will have to plunge into a hot spring and be torn apart by tiny Garra Rufa fish (also affectionately called Chin Chin Yu - “crumbs”). These little ones exist exclusively in thermal springs and know how to do... peeling and massage! They feed mainly on keratinized areas of the skin and thereby cleanse and massage the skin. The prize for the original invention should go to the 'Asian Doctor Fish' resort, located in the Japanese city of Hakon. It was there that the “Fish Doctor” spa program first appeared in 2006. There is no need to be afraid that you will be “eaten” for 40 minutes. The procedure is very pleasant and relatively inexpensive, 200-250 dollars.

Mexico: Cactus Massage and Ancient Aztec Ritual

If there were a rating of the most extreme spa programs, then the cactus massage in the 'Apuane Spa' ('Four Seasons') spa would undoubtedly be among the top three. The idea of ​​the procedure was borrowed from the ancient Aztec healing ritual. During the massage, a dense layer of cactus pieces is applied to the client's back. Spa salon specialists use mainly two types of these prickly plants: prickly pear and agave, which are not only the juiciest, but also the most useful of cacti. Not a single visitor has ever left the 'Apuane Spa' dissatisfied, because during the procedure, vacationers are offered to use cacti not only externally, but also internally! There is no need to be scared, since we are talking about several shots of agave juice - that is, tequila. Israel: If you're afraid of snakes, don't go to the spa

If you want to get a big dose of adrenaline or learn to control your fears, FashionTravel suggests checking out the Ada Barak Spa, located in the Talmey El'Azar area in northern Israel. Ada Barak, the owner of the establishment, invites visitors to try a massage with six non-venomous snakes. According to the salon owner, the idea of ​​such therapy came to her in India. Flexible and very mobile snakes quickly move over the client’s almost naked body, thereby kneading, massaging and relaxing tired muscles, ligaments and sore joints. You will have to book an hour-long session of such therapy in advance, since there are too many people willing to try the fashionable spa program. Handling snakes will cost between $50 and $100.

Maui Island: Liquid gold and swallow guano

The East is breaking all records for the number of spa resorts offering the most unusual spa treatments. A pioneer in the field of exotic new products, the Diamond Spa at the Diamond Hawaii Resort & Spa on the island of Maui offers its clients a bath in gold! It turns out that this precious metal has been used for centuries in the East not only for making jewelry, but also for rejuvenation. Modern scientists became interested in the healing properties of gold, and the result of the research was the emergence of a unique technology for general facial skin rejuvenation called “24 Karat Gold”.

The main ingredient in this original procedure is a liquid gold solution, which the salon specialists evenly distribute over the face and body. After a few minutes, the precious mask hardens, and you can feel like an ancient Egyptian mummy, wrapped in gold blankets. Cosmetologists at the Diamond Spa salon assure that after the first such procedure, the skin on the face is tightened and facial wrinkles disappear. One liquid gold session will cost you $2,000. But this is far from the most extravagant procedure that can be offered here. The whitening face mask made from swallow feces is extremely popular at Diamond Spa! The recipe for this spa program was borrowed from geishas and kabuki theater actors, who achieved extraordinary whiteness of the skin precisely thanks to the composition of rice flour and swallow guano. Vacationers who risk trying this exotic composition for themselves assure that an unprepared client will not guess what the main ingredient of the famous mask is, either by the smell or the consistency.

UK: “Viagra for hair”

The doors of the elite London spa-salon 'Hari's', located in the Chelsea area, are open 24 hours a day for true connoisseurs of luxury.
