The Spa on Green Street

The practice of creating a fever to sweat out toxins and cleanse the body has been traditionally practiced in this country and abroad for thousands and thousands of years. Today we call that practice ‘sauna therapy’ and many leading experts in the health care field believe it is one of the best things you can do for your health.

In just one sauna session you can burn 300-600 calories, detoxify your body, increase circulation, decrease muscle pain/tension, purify your skin and enter a deep state of relaxation.

To help everyone experience the benefits of sauna therapy we are running a special! Enjoy a $10.00 savings off of a half-hour sauna session with any one-hour spa or fitness service through the month of June.

Yes, loss of muscle mass typically begins in one’s 30 or 40′s and continues, even for women who take hormone replacement. As muscles shrink, fat takes their place, and that process leads to a slowdown in metabolism and weight gain even if caloric intake and expenditure remain the same. Weight training can reverse this process, putting back muscle (which uses more calories and takes up less room than fat) and diminishing fat stores. So even if you lose no pounds by strengthening your muscles you can lose inches and sizes.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not. Golfers are the perfect candidates for massage therapy due to the strain and tension that swinging puts on their muscles. Common ‘hot spots’ on golfers include their necks and upper back, shoulders, lower backs and rotator cuffs.

Regular massage can help to loosen those tight areas allowing for greater range of motion and thus – a much improved golf swing!

For golfers our therapists at the Spa on Green Street recommend the one-hour Sport’s Massage or the ninety minute Peak Performance Massage and Wrap – makes a great gift for Father’s Day!
