How To Schedule A Massage Or A Spa Treatment For The Best Results.

Maybe you’ve already realized that if you want to get the best results of something important, it needs time management..

You always schedule an appointment when your car needs a service check, you plan an appointment at your  hairdresser before an important event ( not after) and if you want to lose weight you don't have a dinner at 11pm with a bottle of wine.

But what about a massage or a spa treatment?

I´ve always asked my clients if they had any time preference for their appointment, then I realized that many times  they just try to fit it in between all the work, gym, kids and family. So in the end they just jump off the massage bed to do the school run and Mercadona shopping.

I know we are all super busy these days, but this is just like having a cake at night while trying to lose some weight. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The other day a client of mine wanted a massage at 8am on Sunday morning, because later then he booked a tee time at a golf course.. Like what???

Massage or a spa treatment can be counterproductive when not scheduled well.

It looks like some guidance is quite helpful here.

WHAT’S GOING ON IN YOUR BODY DURING AND AFTER A MASSAGE?

Most of my clients book a massage when they are in pain. It's not an ideal way how to take care, but it's a fact. They are in pain for different reasons - unhealthy posture, too much sitting and not enough exercise, too much exercise and not enough stretching etc..

In all these cases the muscles get tight and stiff. They are creating pressure on the nervous system (might cause a false sciatic pain or cramps) they pull muscles in different areas ( stiff hamstrings might create low back pain), compressing circulation and often produce headaches.

So when you release the muscular tension, all these systems start to go back to normal. When the muscles relax, the whole nervous system calms down, stress level decreases. Blood and lymph start to circulate freely nourishing tissues with nutrients and oxygen and draining the toxins out of your body. 

Jumping in the car, dealing with busy traffic or going to the gym spoils all the benefits and you are where you began.

Now you might say : and what about all those athletes they receive a sport massages in between Wimbledon sets and Champion Leagues? Ok, there are some special techniques that help to keep the muscles warm stimulating the circulation… but honestly, are you one of those athletes?

Time management might sound boring, but it brings the best results.

If you want to get the most from your spa treatment and not really sure which one would be the best for you right now, take a moment and ask yourself some questions.

1. WHO AM I?

When you are an active person (golfer, runner, biker or other athletic performer), the best treatment for you will be a regular Deep Tissue Massage. It will help you to get rid of muscular tension, stretch, restore your body and reduce lactic acid.Thai Massage is great too, if you never stretch enough and feel limited mobility in your joints. Schedule your massage after your physical activity (afternoon or evening) or during a day off.

2. HOW DOES MY LIFESTYLE LOOK LIKE?

When you love to go out and party, the best time to schedule a treatment is the next day late morning. The best match would be After Party Reset Package or Spoil Me Aroma Massage. It will help your body to get rid of the toxins, release tension in your feet after a night in high heels and recover quickly without losing the day after. Basically you can even convert a hangover into something nice and good for you:-)

3. WHAT IS MY TARGET?

When you want to get the best tan ever this summer, definitely don´t forget to add a Full Body Scrub to your massage or facial. Schedule it at the beginning of your holidays, so you have enough time to get an even tan and glowing skin.

4. HOW DOES MY SKIN FEELS RIGHT NOW?

When was the last time you had a proper facial treatment that targets all your skin needs according your skin type? Well, now it is a great opportunity to schedule one. And I´m not talking about your daily routine or an exfoliation once a week.

Your skin has different needs according the season and if you want to keep it radiant you will need some extra infusion of nutrients.BABOR ampoules contain highly concentrated active ingredients that are hermetically sealed into tiny glass vials, providing an air tight barrier.

These precious high-tech ingredients would not survive in a standard serum or cream without this specially protected environment. That means pure, potent, and positively beautiful skin. Being the creator of the first Beauty Ampoule, these cosmetic masterpieces have been perfected through many years of intense research and development. Due to its effective formulas, BABOR ampoules deliver instant results you can see and feel! They’re extremely easy and fun to use, travel friendly and offer a quick fix for any skin condition.

5. DO I WANT JUST A QUICK FIX, OR A LONG TERM IMPROVEMENT?

This question is probably the most important. What you need to understand is that the issue you are trying to solve is a result of lifestyle and care during many years and it cannot be fixed in one session. Back pain and muscular tension are usually a result of postural patterns and habits. A massage can help you for a few days or weeks, but if you want to get rid of it, it needs to change your habits.

It´s a process of transformation and education where you learn how to position your body in your daily activities to improve your performance and prevent injuries.

The same thing can be said about radiant and glowing skin. It is always a result of a continuous care.

The same way as your body needs a consistent intake of healthy nutrients for optimal health, so does your skin.
