We all like to look and feel our best, but sometimes the hectic pace of modern-day living makes it almost impossible to balance work, family, friends and exercise.
Spa treatments are a wonderful way to help re-invigorate tired and aching limbs, de-stress and re-set your mind and body. But, until now, spa therapies have been costly and time-consuming.
Corporate Personal Fitness (CPF), one of the country’s leading providers of sports therapy and fitness programmes, has launched the UK’s first corporate micro-spa with a range of treatments specially designed for on-the-go business executives.
Based alongside CPF’s Darlington studio, at Business Central, close to the town’s railway station, the new micro-spa offers a full range of therapies and treatments from relaxing massages to reflexology, facials and dietary advice.
Each treatment has been tailored to give clients the maximum benefit in the minimum amount of time with sessions from 15 minutes to one hour.
Many have been tailored to help deal with the stresses and strains experienced by businessmen and women.
One of the biggest threats if you are a deskbound executive is repetitive strain injury, also known as upper limb disorder. Once mainly associated with keyboards and telephones, RSI is on the rise again due to the increasing use of tablets and smartphones. According to the TUC, six people quit their job every day due to the chronic effects of RSI.
CPF’s experts have devised a 15-minute hand and arm massage that helps prevent or alleviate the symptoms of RSI and a 30 minute back and neck massage to reduce aches and strains caused by bad posture. It’s even possible to have a remedial, deep tissue or relaxation massage while sat at a chair.
Other therapies on offer include cupping body massage, hot and cold stones, Indian head massage, Shiatsu and Thai massages, reflexology, facial treatments and a full range of holistic therapies, including reiki and crystal healing.
CPF is also offering corporate wellbeing sessions, private yoga lessons and full dietary advice.
All treatments can be booked via CPF’s simple-to-use smartphone app and prices start from just £12.50.
Director Patrick Masheder explained: “CPF’s sport therapy sessions are already hugely popular with our corporate and private clients because they produce measurable results in a short space of time.
“No matter how busy you are, it’s important to take some time out for yourself – to recharge and reinvigorate your body. The more you take care of yourself, the more you can do.
“Working in a relaxed environment, our team of expert therapists offer the same wide range of treatments as a full-on spa – but at a fraction of the cost or time investment.”
