To understand what SPA is, and how it affects the quality of life, it is not enough to decipher the acronym, because it does not reveal the true meaning behind these three letters.
SPA is associated with a place of balance and well-being to disconnect from the world.
People look for SPA’s to live longer, deal with addictions, lose weight, alleviate pain, minimize suffering, relax and to dot their “i’s”.
They contribute to complete mental, aesthetic and emotional health.
According to an article published in G1, Brazilian SPA’s are innovating and offering treatments for brewers.
What does SPA mean?
SPA stands for Personalized Service System.
Did you know that the term SPA originated in Antiquity?
Its intention was to offer healing properties due to the abundance of water and thermal spas that existed there.
The treatment was sought after by Romans who thought that the term SPA came from the Latin: “salus per aquam” which means “health through water”.
Who is it suitable for?
Improving quality of life, re-educating diet and balancing emotions are the most common reasons that lead people to seek out SPAs.
SPA’s are also effective alternatives for reducing stress and escaping the urban chaos.
Both men and women, elderly people and children are regular visitors, and (often) follow the routine of the place.
It is believed that people who have depression can also be treated at SAP’s, working on the mind and body, being able to distract themselves from problems and having the chance to start a new phase again.
What does a SPA need to have?
Among nutritionists, personal trainers, homeopaths and beauticians, these centers offer complete services in addition to being located in environments preserved by nature, enhancing peace, tranquility and quality of life.
In traditional SPA’s, there is leisure in every corner, whether swimming, walking, running, exercising.
Those anxious about this time will not be able to sit still, as usual.
There are aesthetic treatments, such as manicures and pedicures, as well as relaxing massages, hot tub baths, facials and body treatments in general.
There are also meditation, yoga and pilates in the SPA’s, see all the benefits here.
The interesting thing is that professionals conduct an interview with clients before forming their routine.
When observing their objectives, professionals produce a list of their needs and transform this into the number of days the client should stay, balancing each day with a different activity to solve the client’s needs.

What is an urban SPA?
On the rise, the urban SPA has the same concept of quality of life.
However, it is most popular for therapeutic massages and skin care in a single day, the so-called day spa, where the client does not stay.
The objective of the urban SPA is to break the routine of daily traffic and a short relaxation to de-stress.
Providing well-being, tranquility, peace and quiet is difficult, especially with people who are connected to 220.
The hustle and bustle of the city, in addition to causing stress and tiredness, damages health.
In short, SPA’s contribute to well-being, beauty, health and a better quality of life.
Taking care of your body and mind should be daily tasks and not continuous forgetfulness.
Above all, people need to relax more, take care of themselves more and, above all, live longer.
Furthermore, by taking care of your health and mind, you can adopt a healthier and happier lifestyle!
