With stress affecting nearly 75% of all Canadians, contributing to a myriad of health problems from neck and back pain to sore muscles and overly dry skin, many people are seeking ways to reduce their daily pressures while improving their quality of life. Day spas offer a wide variety of services geared toward relaxation and stress that can:

** Provide relief for common ailments, such as excessively dry skin or tender muscles and joints

** Address reoccurring conditions, such as rosacea

** Allow for ongoing wellness programs designed to keep the body healthy and happy

Many of the services provided at a day spa can be performed in an hour or two for those on a tight schedule. People with more time to spare can sign up for several treatments at one time, or spend an entire day enjoying a light snack, quiet time in the relaxation room, and a dip in the sauna after the services are over.

But What Can a Day Spa Do for Me?

While all day spas differ to some degree, many offer similar services, such as facials and massages, which promote wellness, enhance the quality of life, and address specific ailments. The Vancouver Day Spa guide covers health concerns such as rosacea, excessive hair, and dry skin, addressing the nature of the condition and what can be done to alleviate its symptoms. This report also discusses who can perform certain procedures. For instance, a credentialed massage therapist can administer a relaxation massage, but a more intensive micro-dermabrasion procedure might require the skill of a trained and licensed medical doctor.
