What does SPA mean? SPA is more than just facilities (swimming pools, saunas), a spa menu, treatments, and some products.
The term that designates the location where you find all these comes from the abbreviation of a Latin expression: Sanitas Per Aquam – Health through Water. And as the name suggests, SPAs were originally places for hydrotherapy. The Romans laid the foundations of SPA, setting up the first centers around thermal water springs.
Relaxation for muscles and mind, total relaxation, pampering of the body, and comfort of the spirit – the Arvada day spa is all these things together!
The right choice of a spa center is essential to achieve the well-being that the wellness clients crave. Spa centers have to meet an accumulation of criteria – the most important of which is the staff and the spa atmosphere – designed to relax all the senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
SPA: a multisensory experience
Attending a Spa gives you time for yourself. Time to relax, invigorate and take a break from everyday stress; last but not least, time to pamper yourself. The Arvada day spa experience starts right from the entrance of such a center, through the atmosphere it unleashes and the music, flavors, décor, light, etc. This atmosphere awakens all your senses, but without overexciting them. You meet the gentlest and most harmonious form of sounds, color, tea flavor, natural essences, perfumes, light, textures, and color here. Once you enter the treatment room, you are dealing with oils, creams, and other delicious ingredients that make you continue to enjoy the multisensory experience.
What treatments can you do in a SPA?
At a SPA, you can benefit from special therapies and rituals that are performed according to the same recipe in all institutions or, on the contrary, from signature spa treatments specific to a particular center. Rituals usually include:
- a massage session of a specific type
- an exfoliation, a wrap, and
- often a bath
Massage, in general, has both a relaxing and a therapeutic effect. It relieves local pains, reduces stress, and favors your blood circulation. This aspect has multiple health benefits. At the same time, through the oils and creams used for massage, the skin is nourished and hydrated in depth.
When scheduling your Arvada day spa appointment, you can choose from various facial and body treatments, including massages, hydrotherapy services, and private treatment rooms (medical spa).
Besides these, you can also opt for nutrition and weight management services, fitness facilities, Pilates, and yoga.
