Mental Massage : A New Way To Relax

Life is getting stressed and technology, far from helping us relax, 
has increased work and stress. Those with computer work have to sit 
hunched over a desk all day long but the stress of work has caused 
other tensions of the mind. We once thought that Spa therapy is 
becoming a fashion. Those were the days. Now Spa has become a 
necessity and just as the demand has risen, Spa resorts are 
increasingly becoming better organised, as they say, in mind and body. 
The Balinese Spas, for instance are taking the wellness experience to 
the next level by introducing professional counselling to the menu. It 
seems spas are no longer just beauty parlours and fat farms – these 
days, they want to sort out your mental health too. The concept is 
very promising as it supported with qualified therapists.
MASSAGE RESEARCH & SURVEYS
Surveys suggest that one in four Europeans suffers from mental-health 
problems and the UK-based adventure travel website www.AwimAway.com is 
inundated with requests for spa breaks. “What follows is more 
interesting”, says its CEO Harish Kohli. These requests are 
accompanied by comments such as “I am getting divorced”; “my job is so 
stressfull”; “I’m fed up of being so fat”. 
Research also indicates that “Stress-related disorders make up between 
80-and-90 percent of the ailments. What they require is someone to 
listen, someone to touch them, someone to care. That does not exist in 
modern medicine.
One of the complaints heard frequently is that physicians don't touch 
their patients any more. Touch just isn't there. Years ago massage was 
a big part of nursing. There was so much care, so much touch, so much 
goodness conveyed through massage. 
Many now believe that massage therapy is absolutely key in the healing 
process because it relieves stress, it is obviously foundational in 
the healing process any time and anywhere. Perhaps a resort 
offering “proper” therapy is just the ticket? 
CHIC SPAS
The accommodation is Spas is the epitome of Asian chic, overlooking a 
steep, deep-green rainforest valley and foaming river. The restaurants 
serve delicious food that’s also healthy. But the best they offer is 
the emotional-health, sometimes in group-participation coaching that 
can have topics such as “how to break bad habits and maintain good 
ones”. They hope to encourage guests to see how to make constructive 
changes. Sometimes, we tend to ignore how important our emotional 
health is to our physical welfare. Studies have shown that after 
operations patients with a positive attitude leave hospital sooner and 
their scars heal more quickly.
The process works if the counselling is used in conjunction with the 
spa’s other specialist services. These include a nutritionist, an 
iridologist, an osteopath and an Ayurvedic doctor. Get ready for the 
new era of yoga and massage. This will now be complemented with mental 
massage.
