The Modern Spa Industry And Its Early Origins

Oct. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- The modern spa industry that we know today only really took off at the end of the 20th century in the UK, USA and many other countries, and by the year 2000 the demise of the traditional health farm was replaced by the destination spa.

What has brought about this sudden urge for people to take in a spa? The reasons behind this include a greater awareness and responsibility for personal health and well-being, enhanced knowledge of health and facilities available through information technology, plus more leisure time which individuals wish to use in a constructive way. More importantly spas are no longer perceived as retreats for the wealthy or the elite.

There is probably a day spa in almost every town and city across the UK, and it is absolutely true that people under a lot of pressure and stress can benefit by choosing natural treatments at one of these outlets, to heal both body and mind.

London is a city that never sleeps and the busy life that either residents or commuters experience every single day needs to bring some calm and relaxation into their lives. That is probably why when business executives and tourists come to the city of London they seek out some leisure time in addition to the main purpose of their visit.  

Spas in London (http://www.dolphinsquare.co.uk/spa/spa-facilities/the-spa) offer many benefits through natural treatments to counteract against stress.  A session at a spa is the natural way to sort out insomnia and the reason for this is it improves the blood circulation throughout the whole body, as the steam dilutes the blood in the vessels in the brain, thus the body has easier access to oxygen which brings on sleep.

A spa day is becoming very popular not only for wedding “hens” looking for something different before the big day, but also “stags” wanting to look their best for their forthcoming nuptials.  Spa breaks London (http://www.dolphinsquare.co.uk/spa/spa-facilities/the-spa) are high on the list of destinations for a weekend break, and this can be a more preferable choice to an alcohol infused weekend somewhere abroad and also be kinder on the pocket.

A visit to a spa has for centuries been a way for people to improve their health and sense of well-being. In fact evidence has been found that as early as the Bronze Age humans sought out hot mineral springs and history tells us that bathing was a key component of life in both Ancient Greece and Rome.  Not much in this respect has changed and London spas (http://www.dolphinsquare.co.uk/spa/spa-facilities/the-spa) offer the same feeling albeit with a more modern approach.

A visit to one of the many spas London or one in a town or city nearer to you, is perfect for those who want to get away from the day-to-day grind and just relax. It can also be great fun experiencing these treatments with friends and family and if in London for either business or pleasure a day session can be fitted around a busy schedule.
