First time in spa? Try Swedish massage (IANS Spa Review)
March 3rd, 2010 - 10:55 am ICT by IANSGurgaon, March 3 (IANS) If you are tired and want a massage that won’t dip you in oils and at the same time relaxes your body and mind, then opt for Swedish massage at the FOS Laser spa in Gurgaon.
Apart from various ayurvedic and international spa treatments, the place emphasises a lot on wellness and has a salon, weight management equipments and detox equipment. It has a hair spa as well.
Looking at the serene white walls, listening to soothing background music and smelling the aromatic oils, one just wants to sit back and get pampered.
In a modern furnished room that is well equipped with steam and shower sections, taking a Swedish massage might not sound an exciting idea but it’s worth a try.
Aromatic oils like lavender are used for the massage to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes, with a bit of stretching and sometimes tapping on the body.
While massaging, gentle pressure is maintained to promote relaxation. But in specific areas like foot and neck, circular and focussed massage is given to ease muscle tension.
Don’t be embarrassed if you fall asleep during the session; it is but natural.
After the massage is over, take a 10-minute steam bath and then a shower.
The fragrance of the aromatic oils used in this massage is so strong that it will stick with you for a few more hours.
Location: FOS Laser Spa, Near IFFCO Chowk, Gurgaon.
Duration: 60 minutes.
Price: Rs.2,500.
