What are the Physical and Mental Benefits of Going to the Spa?

At The Spa on Phillips, we see all kinds of clients. Some are looking for a new fall hairstyle, some bring their wedding party in for services before the big day, and others are looking to maintain and improve their day-to-day health.  

Going to the spa isn’t just about treating yourself. It’s incredibly beneficial for your health and well-being. Find just a few of the mental and physical benefits of taking a spa day below:

Fight Depression

Of course, there is no cure for depression, but treatment options can vary from therapy and medication to spending more time outdoors and going for a massage. It’s best to consult your doctor before making any major decisions, but some studies support the benefits of stress reduction to fight depression. Therapeutic services like massage therapy or flotation therapy can reduce stress, anxiety, and help heal your mind and body. 

Boost Confidence

It might not seem as valuable to come, but a boost in self-esteem can have a measurable effect on your health. More than a mood boost, taking the time to pamper yourself can help you promote positive self-esteem. This goes beyond simply changing our outward appearance with a new hairstyle or manicure, but might include a body wrap or facial to create a refreshed, clean, glowing sensation.

Reduce Stress

It goes without saying that a full body massage complete with essential oils and soothing soundscapes can relax anyone after a rough day! Allowing your body to completely relax and unwind reduces tension in your body that you might not even realize you are carrying.

Get Better Sleep

Relaxing your body and getting rid of tension should result in better sleep. Besides the physical benefits, however, reducing pain and inflammation can help your body better develop serotonin, which is your body’s sleep hormone.

Improve Overall Health

Aside from mental improvements, many physical benefits can have real, lasting impacts on your health. Many spa services can reduce your blood pressure, improve joint function and circulation, and relieve physical fatigue. In fact, those who participate in regular spa sessions take fewer sick days and have an overall sense of well-being.
