Spa Etiquette - I'm uncomfortable with the idea of taking my clothes off for a treatment... Are there any massages that I can have whilst fully clothed?

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of being in the various stages of undress necessary to enjoy a spa treatment, but would still love to enjoy a bit of pampering, we’ve come up with a list of treatments that would still be possible whilst you are fully clothed. Cranio-sacral therapy is an excellent example of such a treatment with sessions generally lasting about an hour. Treatments featuring Energy Work such as acupuncture and shiatsu are performed fully attired. Reflexology is performed on the hands and feet and so there is no need to get undressed. Thai massage is performed over loose-fitting clothing and an Indian Head Massage has the benefit of relaxing the body and reducing tension and stress without the need to disrobe.
This is just a short list of some of the treatments on offer to you – Spa’s cater to everyone, even those of you more comfortable keeping your clothes on. Speak to your Spa of choice and see what other treatments they offer to someone with your preferences.

  SPA TERMINOLOGY
CRANIAL-SACRAL THERAPY    Treatment that focuses on the connection between the skull and the base of the spine along the spinal column. The therapist's palpitations in those areas are said to release blockages in the circulation of the cerebral-spinal fluid and allow it to flow more freely.

  HOW TO PROVIDE A MEMORABLE SPA EXPERIENCE

You’ve arrived - your Spa is up and running, you have a functional client base (some of your clientele even comes back for seconds) and you are turning over a profit. Great! Now what do you have to do to get people excited about your facility? What can you do to reap the rewards and have rave reviews pouring in? Every owner wants his or her Spa to outshine the next, so going that extra mile to ensure a memorable spa experience should be placed at the top of each and every employee’s priority list. Perhaps by putting yourself in the shoes of your valued customers, you can provide them with an unforgettable Spa experience.

The Spa experience begins from the moment you make a booking or enquiry and carries through to the time you drive through the front gates of the facility. By providing plenty of secure, shaded parking for your guests only a short walk from the reception area (if not right outside the front door), you will be providing your client with the peace of mind they deserve while they are taking a break from the stresses and strains of their everyday life. No one wants to have to worry about whether their car will be in the same place upon their return, not to mention the fact that your guest would appreciate not having to endure an unpaid for and unwelcome car sauna post-treatment.

For some, a treatment at a Spa is a luxury rather than a fortnightly outing, so try to personalise every client’s time at your facility. Generally, your Spa-goer has taken the time to book their treatment, so why not have a personally addressed welcome letter waiting for them when they check in? This can be set up rather quickly and effortlessly in a template format on your reception’s computer, allowing for a quick insertion of your customer’s name and a walk to the printer.
