Apart
from a detox diet or drink special smoothies to detox you can easily start with
a massage to kick-start your body’s own natural cleansing processes,
which has slowed down potentially for a variety of reasons — lack of exercise,
little fluids or fiber in the diet … If you haven’t been taking the best care
of yourself, a detoxifying massage can help set things right again.
How will
massage assist the body to detox, exactly?
The
pressure and rhythmic strokes applied to muscles, tissues and organs during
massage therapy help stimulate the circulatory system. It works sort of like a
sponge: When pressure is applied to the tissue and fat, toxins are literally
“squeezed” out from in between the muscle fibers and cells. They’re released
into the circulatory system for easier elimination.
The key
importance of the lymph system
Your
lymphatic fluid system works in unison with your cardiovascular circulatory
system to fget rid off toxins and carry immune cells throughout the body to
help defend against infections. If your lymph fluid circulation gets sluggish,
toxins can build up and immune cells may not get carried to the areas of the
body where they’re required.
Unfortunately
the lymph system doesn’t have a big central pump like the heart to keep things
moving, so it has to rely on gravity, exercise, breathing … and massage. So if
you haven’t been as good as you should about your exercise, diet and “me time”
routine (it happens to the best of us!), that can affect how you feel, causing
aches, pains and swelling (lymph edema). It can also cause deterioration in
organs and glands like the thymus that are vital players in your immune system.
It’s easy
to see why detoxification is so important to avoiding illness and chronic
health conditions. So if you’re not feeling your best or haven’t been as good
about your diet and exercise routine lately, try a massage to get back on
track. Remember to drink a glass or two of pure water after massage to help the
body flush out toxins more rapidly.

Not all of us are regular spa goers in Brighton and a first visit to the spa can
be a bit of a daunting experience for anyone. Behind the polished doors
of the spa lies a space that is classy and apparently inviting but there
is always a nagging fear that you may not belong there and a faux pas
committed by you could really travel. Such things do travel and could
reach your workplace too and woe betide you if you’re not the type to
laugh it off.
The objective of this article is to apprise you of the basic dos and
don’ts regarding your conduct in a spa. The International SPA
Association and Resort Hotel Association has developed a Spa Code of Conduct
that you should read, it will make you breathe easy and ease of any
feelings of self-consciousness that you may be harboring.
Essentially as
a patron of a spa it is your responsibility to let the spa management
know of your expectations from the treatment that you want and learn
about it from the concerned person. You should also come clear about any
medical condition that you have. Be courteous. Follow directions and
use unguents and ointments as directed by the staff.
You will do fine if you observe basic etiquette and show some common
sense. For example, arrive around 10-15 minutes before an appointment
and do not distract others by talking loudly on your phone. Wash off the
chlorinated water on your body from the hot tub before you move on to
the steam bath. Do not leave your children unattended. Ideally you
should not carry any jewelry to the spa but if you do then deposit it in
your locker before proceeding for treatment.
As a patron of a spa, you can expect courteous treatment; you have
the right to stop a particular treatment at any time for whatever
reason. You can elaborate on any discomfort that you may be experiencing
and the therapist will make adjustments accordingly. You have the right
to ask questions about staff training, licensing and certification.
Your disclosure about any condition should be kept a secret by the spa
staff. If you are uncomfortable taking a massage nude with a towel on,
you have the option of wearing your undergarments. Alternatively you can
opt for a Thai massage where you stay fully clothed during the massage.
It is important to know what you want when you enter a spa; for
example if you do not specify the gender of a masseur it is likely that
you will be assigned a male masseur. This is because female masseurs are
in demand with female clients who may have issues with undressing
before a man and may not be comfortable with a man’s touch. More than
women, one would think it’s the men who would opt for female massagers.
So, let your preference be known. For many experienced spa goers, the
gender of the massage therapist is secondary to his/her skill. For some
type of massages such as a deep tissue massage, a male massager is a
better choice as this massage technique requires strength.
Tipping is always an issue that most people seek enlightenment on. In
the spa industry, the tipping norm is usually 15%-20%. Check if the
tip is included in the price of the service. If you get a gift
certificate that entitles you to a spa treatment check if it is
inclusive of the tips. Also if you are visiting the spa with a gift
certificate mention it in advance so that the spa can clear any policy
issues related to treatments with gift certificates.
One of the major concerns for most spa goers is information regarding
nudity at the spa. Read on to learn about it. At the outset it would be
fair to say that in most European countries attitudes towards nudity
are far relaxed than what they are in America, so much so that in
Germany men and women can take steam baths together in the nude. The
general procedure before a massage treatment is that you are given time
to change into a robe before you enter the massage room. The spa may or
may not have a private changing space. The masseur will escort you to
the massage area and leave giving you time to disrobe and slip under the
sheets. After the massage, you should vacate the massage area in around
five minutes. Do not keep the next customer waiting. If you wish you
can unwind in the waiting room or meditation room.
There are certain body treatments that will require you to be fully
exposed for some time. So, learn beforehand about the kind of massage
that you are going for. You can request the spa to provide you with
disposable underwear; with certain spas it is mandatory. You can enter a
steam bath or a sauna naked or draped. You may have to share the space
with people of the opposite sex.
Most day spas in Brighton experience peak traffic during late afternoon and at
weekends. So if you wish to be treated by your favorite therapist book
an appointment in advance. If, for some reason you have to cancel an
appointment give the spa as much of an advance notice as you possibly
can. With some spas, a minimum 24-hour notice is required. This is
because spas are obliged to pay therapists for their time regardless of
client arrival or not. They need advance notice to fill the slot vacated
by you.
