What treatment is most common in a spa?
This article is going back to basics with the three most common types of spa services — massage, facials, and body therapy — and how they impact the skin. Professional massage follows strict draping protocols. Even if groin muscles are being treated, only that specific muscle region is exposed, never the genitals or private areas. Practices like Massage Abingdon adhere strictly to these standards to ensure comfort and trust.A massage therapist should not touch your buttocks if you did not complain about issues in this area. If the buttocks are massaged, therapists should always focus on the gluteus muscles without touching the anus. Breasts are also rarely touched during normal massage therapy.Second, a massage shouldn’t be done in any area of the body where there may be blood clots, fractures, open or healing wounds, skin infections, and healing from a recent surgery.Third, some of the areas they work on are just simply more intimate than your regular Western massage. Your butt, inner thighs, outer thighs, and your groin area are all fair game. And not only that, they get pretty close to you – physically.
What should I expect during my first spa visit?
After check-in, you’ll receive a spa robe and slippers to help you relax before your treatment. You will then use the designated changing rooms and lockers to store your belongings securely. Even if you feel self-conscious in a robe and slippers, remember that everyone at the spa will be dressed in the same attire. The bath and locker lounges are gender separated. All other amenities, the indoor/outdoor pools, saunas & lounges are co-ed/unisex. Can we wear our bathing suits inside the hot tubs in the locker rooms? Bathing suits are not permitted in these areas.Don’t stress about what to wear under your robe. If you want to wear loose-fitting clothing under your robe, you’re more than welcome. Keep in mind that the spa can get warm, so don’t layer up too much! If you plan on relaxing in the thermal pool, wear a swimsuit or trunks under your robe.At your specific gender level, additional towels, bathrobe, and shorts will be given. You will then put everything away in your locker and change into the shirt and short provided. To enter the spa and sauna on the gender-segregated floors, we ask that no clothing be worn. Bathing suits are not allowed in the spas.
