The Three Common Types of Spa Treatment
There are many types of spa treatments a spa center has to offer.
Three of the common spa treatments are facial treatments, skin
treatments, and massage treatments.
Facials are basically designed to give the face and neck area a thorough clean and hydration. Thus, spa facial treatments are treatments designed to benefit your face as well as add a glow to it since the dead skin cells from your face's surface would be removed. Its packages usually consist of the basic cleansing of skin, a steam bath, and a facial massage. This will then be followed by the application of hypoallergenic moisturizers on the face and neck so they do not dry out from the previous processes. From here, the specialty of it's the spa center's package varies. You could be given paraffin facials, where a layer of paraffin mask is applied to your face so that your face would be able to absorb and seal in nutrients from certain creams. Another type of facial you could be given is an aromatherapy, which oil rejuvenates the skin. As for collagen facials, a collagen mask is applied to promote skin cells to grow.
On the other hand, spa skin treatments focus on the skin of your body. There are many types of different treatments for this area. Like the facial spa treatment, your skin will first be cleansed. From there on, your treatment differs based on the center's selection of treatments. One type is the body scrub, where gentle abrasives like salt or crushed nuts would be used to slough off the dead skin cells of your skin's surface as well as improve circulation. Another option of skin treatment would be body wraps, where your body will be slathered with therapeutic creams and then wrapped with a blanket for certain duration.
Lastly is the spa massage treatment. This type of spa is popular with both men and women. There are many types of massages available, but not all is preferred by everyone. Some massages are gentle, which focuses on the touch on certain areas to regulate blood flow to the areas. On the other hand, there are those that require much strength and pressure, which knead your muscles up to your bones. Consult a spa center on which treatment suits you best, and you will walk out refreshed.

How Can A Massage Help Me Sleep?
It is one of our natural tendencies to rub someone when they are
having a hard time sleeping. One of the most concrete examples to back
up this claim is the way we gently stroke the head of babies, or rub
their backs to make them fall asleep. Admittedly, rubbing or touching is
a natural and instinctive way to soothe and relax. And isn't it that
rubbing and touching is what a massage is all about?
There are many articles and scientific journal entries that discuss how a massage, massage therapy, or therapeutic massage can help us relax. Even just one session of massage therapy already has an impact on our body and how it works. Here is the picture: humans are born with a parasympathetic and sympathetic autonomic nervous system. These two balances each other out. When we are stressed, our sympathetic system is activated making us feel the urge to fight, flight, or move restlessly. On the other hand, when we have a massage, our parasympathetic system is activated allowing our bodies to relax. What is the connection between this and our topic? Simply put, common sleep disorders are usually caused by stress and tension. And if these are the reasons why you are not sleeping very well every night, then you might be pleased to know that one of the benefits of massage therapy is improved sleep patterns. And this is true. In fact, there are some people who actually fall asleep while having a session at their massage spa.
Quite a number of people have claimed that they have slept well after receiving regular sessions of massage therapy and reflexology. Several studies also support the claim on how massage therapy does more than reducing incidences of back pain, body pain, and headaches. These studies also showed that therapeutic massage also helped patients sleep better due to lessened anxiety and depression. Another interesting massage study reported that critically ill patients claimed experiencing improved sleep patterns, both in the quality and quantity of sleep, compared to those patients who received only relaxation exercises.
So whether you are experiencing sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, or restless leg syndrome, there is a therapeutic massage technique that can help you. According to a professional massage therapist from leading massage spa in Sarasota, Florida, people increasingly avail of their Swedish massage, sports massage, pregnancy massage, deep tissue massage, and reflexology services because they want to be soothed and relaxed.
Here are the basic description of each massage therapy treatment:
- Swedish massage is a massage therapy technique that uses variations of long gliding strokes, kneading, and friction techniques on surface muscles. Strokes used in Swedish massage generally goes with the direction of blood flow toward the heart. Swedish massage is commonly availed by people who wants to experience relaxation, improve circulation and range of motion, as well as relieve muscle tension.
- Deep tissue massage is a massage therapy technique aimed at reaching the muscles way below the surface level. Chronic patterns of muscular tension usually happens at the deep connective tissues and this is the area targeted by deep tissue massage. With the use of slow strokes, direct and firm pressure, as well as friction techniques directed across the area of the body experiencing chronic muscle pain, deep tissue massage is effective in relieving chronic muscular tension and pain.
- Sports massage is a massage therapy technique that uses massage strokes similar to those used during a Swedish massage and deep tissue massage. The difference is that sports massage is specially adapted to deal with the effects of athletic performance on the body, as well as the needs of athletes regarding training, performing, and recovery from injury.
- Pregnancy massage is a massage therapy technique specially adapted to suit the delicate conditions of soon to be mothers. It uses the gentlest forms of massage strokes. A go signal form a medical practitioner is necessary before a woman can avail of pregnancy massage. Pregnancy massage is very effective in relieving back pain, leg cramps, and other discomforts associated with pregnancy.

Discovering Happiness Through Rest and Relaxation
To experience life at it best and live a life full of peace and contentment, you need to make a conscious effort to bring some down time into your day and be in the moment with assorted techniques related to rest and relaxation. Once you feel the deep satisfaction from really enjoying a peaceful moment or two every day, you will attain a deeper connection with yourself that can ultimately be the source of a firm and unwavering feeling of happiness with life.
Relaxation techniques release stress and strain from our body and ease our minds, freeing both to function at their best.
- When you are troubled or worried, take a few minutes to focus on the inhalation and exhalation of your breath. Feel the temperature sensations of your breath. Bring your breath all the way to your ribs and notice your rib cage expanding and contracting. Try to breath with this focus for 5-10 minutes.
- Listening to water, in its many forms, is a relaxing way to connect with nature. Close your eyes and be still in a quiet place. Focus on the sound of raindrops hitting a roof, rain gushing from an eaves trough, water connecting with water at a waterfall, water trickling against a fountain or a rivers current pushing water over rocks. Listening to rain or water will generally be one of those spontaneous moments of relaxing - you must take the moment when it comes, not just create the moment when you make time for it. Although natural is always better, there are some great CD's of rain, thunderstorms and flowing water that still provide that nurturing spirit of nature.
Build rest into your life and you will give yourself more quality time for enjoying the good things in life. Rest can mean going to bed early or sleeping in whenever you can. This is short term resting. It is also important to plan some lengthier resting, such as an extended weekend where you sleep as long as your body wants and you're able to do the things that are pleasurable and calming for you.
These techniques will help you in connecting the spiritual, mental and physical elements of yourself. By having a deeper connection with your whole self you are better able to connect with the people and situations in life that will bring you a deep seated joy that can't be diminished by external circumstances.
Stephanie's connection to nature and its life enhancing gifts have been the inspiration to help others connect and care for the outdoors and in turn connect and care for themselves.
