Selecting The Right Massage And Spa Services

Massage and spa service is a very liberating and rewarding experience for all the tired and worn out souls used to the daily grind. Moreover, the health benefits derived from positive feelings occurring out of a proper massage and spa package is unquestionable. There are even specific kinds of massage and spa services that can actually trim one down by a size or two, which is greatly beneficial for people who are overweight and hate doing physical activities. But while the trend on massage and spa is becoming a global phenomenon, the individual should also be aware that massage and spa services are very personal and it involves a lot of technicalities. It is common for spa services these days to advertise that they provide traditional Indian massage and Indian spa therapy or commonly called Ayurvedic treatments. This is because Ayurvedic medical system, which is over 4000 years old, is becoming globally accepted as a top-notch alternate medical system due to its holistic approach integrating the body, mind and spirit; and lot of spa and massage operators are taking undue advantage of Ayurveda’s global acceptance. The truth is that, many are unaware that Ayurvedic massage or Indian massage takes years to master and most of the spa centres, including the top ones, have ayurvedic massage therapists who have no idea about its functionalities. To get a job in these salons or spas as an Indian massage therapist, the only requisite is that, you need to be an Indian and should have a certificate showing that training has been done for a week or two. How many masseurs can tell the difference between Ayurvedic, Deep tissue, Marma or Sports massage? How many masseurs can tell the difference between relaxant oil and stimulant oil? That massage oil that should be used on a diabetic person should not be used on an arthritic person; oil that should be used on an obese person is not suitable for a lean one. How many of the masseurs can really talk about functionality of various massages in relation to a human body. From my experience in living in different parts of the world; Brazil, London, Hong Kong, Dubai, Kuwait etc spa services are major money-spinners. They will deliver the result if one gets services from the right person and the right products are used. Individuals should keep in mind that spa and massage services are very personal which affects ones health, and health equates to wealth. Hence make an informed choice.
