Resilience | Noun; ‘The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties’
As demonstrated in our previous two blogs in this series (familiarise yourself with part one and part two), the demands of our busy lives today often mean our health gets neglected. Stress manifests itself in many ways, affecting our immunity, emotional wellbeing and physical health. Managing stress better and looking after your immune system through diet, exercise and mindful techniques will provide the resilience you need to stay well, avoid bugs that are going around and recover each night after the depleting effects of the day.
An ideal way to kick-start this resilience, and your commitment to a calmer, happier and healthier life, is to allow yourself to take a break and retreat to one of our spas. In response to growing demand from customers to help them overcome the above-mentioned effects of increased stress, our trainers have spent months developing a new treatment which is now available in select ESPA spas across the country.
The new Strength and Resilience Massage
Applying specialist techniques and specific essential oil blends, our new Strength and Resilience Massage helps you rediscover a sense of wellbeing, bring clarity to mind and body and support your immune system.
To start, Muscle Rescue Balm is applied to soothe muscular aches and pains while the body is ‘cocooned’ in warm towels to aid relaxation. Next, Yogic stretches are performed to awaken the body, while a reflex zone foot massage stimulates major organs such as the lungs, colon, diaphragm and sinuses which have a direct link to the body’s resilience.
The treatment journey transforms from gentle strokes to swift movements, as rapid pressure is used during a deeply invigorating back massage. Sinus release and scalp massage complete the treatment, boosting energy levels and restoring a sense of balance. You emerge stronger and more resilient, ready to face life’s unexpected journeys.
