The Spa Magic

Today's fast paced life and over head deadlines and cut offs often wrap city dwellers and turn them into overused working machines at the end of the day. This is one main reason why spas and wellness kiosks dot the city streets. Come 6 o' clock in the evening and yuppies as well as business executives stroll through the zigzagging channels of the so-called fashionable urban culture.
But what do they dig from spas and wellness centers? A study shows 47 percent of spa goers pay money in spas to rid stress out of their systems. That's more than good enough reason to visit a spa: stress leads to various health issues including increased blood viscosity that can lead to cardiovascular problems and any event that follows after that causes one to lose productive hours and unable to earn money.
This is not what most Americans want! Another 38% wants their sore bodies to relax. After longs hours of sitting in virtually the same position, the best thing could only be gentle yet strong hands physically manipulating the back and shoulder. What could get better than that? A strong 28% believes that going to the spa regularly can promote good mental and emotional health. Efficiency in the workplace is largely influenced by the status of your mental as well as emotional well-being. Efficient people are productive people that deliver results.
But how big really is the world's spa business? And how could this be beneficial to you? The same website says that 57 million Americans have been to a spa in their lifetimes and a whopping 32.2 million Americans have been a spa in the last 12 months. The statistics tell us that if you ever crave for some relaxation and wellness treat in a spa, you are not alone.
The most coveted spa service that tops our list is general body massage. Most people undergo stressful situations and a dose of this, zests your body up that keeps you going again. Its like you're being oiled up so you can function efficiently and complete work as usual. Health wise, full body massage improves general blood circulation that in turn keeps most disease processes at bay.
How much does one have to pay for a spa service? In the United States, prices vary according to location and the nature of the service. A one-hour Swedish massage can range from $80 to $130. The longer the session lasts, the more expensive it gets and the more oils, ointments and serums used, the heftier the price gets.
While the price may be a little hurtful to the pocket, spa business continues to flourish, probably for one main reason, there are customers who are willing to keep a closed eye to the price tag just as long as the body that they use to keep everything in life going still keeps on going. That might be a really good reason to go to the spa after all.
