Spa Week Provides Affordable, Lifelong Wellness for Body and Mind
National Event’s $50 spa and wellness services aid in overall health and well-being now and in the future

In a fast paced society where deadlines, demands and frustrations seem to be the norm, stress has become so commonplace that it is practically a way of life for so many people. Unfortunately, this constant strain on body and mind can lead to serious health consequences. Study after study shows that there is a strong link between stress and overall health, and it’s no wonder that by 2020, the top five diseases will all share a contributing factor of stress according to the World Health Organization.

In 2004, Spa Week recognized the epidemic of stress-related health issues and set out to change the dangerous course the country had charted. The first step was making it possible for everyone to experience the healing benefits of spa and wellness services, thus the biannual Spa Week Events and their affordable $50 treatments were created. Since then, Spa Week has implemented many other groundbreaking programs devoted to educating consumers about the preventative and life-long wellness benefits of spa visits.

Moving into its 17th installation, Spa Week’s Fall 2012 Event will take place from October 15th – 21st when hundreds of spas (day, medical and resort), yoga and Pilates studios, fitness and nutrition centers, and other health and wellness practices nationwide will offer up to three signature treatments at the major discount of just $50 each. Spas and wellness facilities have become invested in improving overall health and well-being for consumers, rather than serving as only a brief escape from their hectic lifestyle. In alignment with this commitment to enrich consumer’s lives, the Fall 2012 Event will offer a wide variety of services that address the most vital health concerns including stress and pain management, weight loss and maintenance, mind-body balance and total fitness.

Such services will incorporate holistic and alternative therapies such as traditional, ancient medicine like acupuncture and cupping to Ayurveda, one of the most popular healing therapies today. In addition to these nurturing treatments for body and mind, consumers can also expect to see serious technology and innovation on the Spa Week menu. From colon hydrotherapy and non-invasive body contouring to stimulate weight loss, to advanced laser facials that go above and beyond tackling basic skincare concerns by helping to prevent and even treat skin cancer. The wellness possibilities are endless, and when it comes to personal health, Spa Week is a sure reason for consumers to make that once out of reach “me” time an affordable reality.

In order to receive exclusive information on spa and wellness locations and their $50 services, spa-goers should register on SpaWeek.com as early as possible. The complete directory will launch five weeks early, on September 10th, to allow consumers to begin booking their most desired services. It is recommended that spa-goers sign up and book in advance on SpaWeek.com to ensure they reserve their top treatment choices.

Spa visits improve overall health in many ways, from the physical to psychological, but perhaps the most important is that they provide the tools for long-term prevention. Investing in personal health and well-being now decreases the chance of battling stress-related illness in the future. As more consumers turn to spas and wellness facilities to aid in their physical and mental health goals, Spa Week is there and will continue in its tradition of assisting millions in their journey of living a life of greater health, happiness and well-being.

Spa Week was created and founded by Cheryl Reid, who hails from successful careers within the luxury spa industry and publishing spheres. Joining Spa Week for the Fall 2012 Event, sponsors include Exclusive National Media Sponsor: Health magazine; Exclusive Destination Sponsor: Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism; Exclusive Trade Association Partner: ISPA; Exclusive Skincare Sponsor: American Laser Skincare; Exclusive Hair Care Sponsor: Ouidad and Exclusive Water Sponsor: Dream Water. Co-sponsors include CEW and Spa Chicks On The Go®. Spa Week donates a portion of the proceeds from the Spring and Fall Events to CancerAndCareers.org.

Spa Week, the largest and most successful Spa Marketing Event in the country, has leveraged its exclusive relationships with hundreds of its spa partners to extract privileged industry information in order to release the most accurate and trust-worthy assessment of the direction of spa services to date. Spa Week is excited to announce the definitive list of the latest in spa treatment trends in honor of the 15th installment of the Spa Week Event.

SpaWeek.com
The complete list of spa participants and their Spa Week treatments. It is encouraged that spa-goers sign up in advance and book their appointments immediately for the most desired services and times.
Without further adieu, Spa Week presents the Top 10 Spa Treatment Trends for the Fall 2011 Event:
1. Shirodhara
We know what you’re thinking: Shiro-whata? Don’t try this at dinner, but drizzling warm sesame oil onto one’s forehead is extremely therapeutic. Shirodhara, which dates back to India circa 5000 years ago, is now being incorporated into more and more spa menus, and seen as an add-on to Western treatments like body wraps and Swedish Massages.
It’s the good kind of oil spill:
The ritual’s steady spilling brings physical and emotional balance while giving hair an extreme conditioning. Shirodhara is known to calm nerves, release stored emotions, purify the mind, and fight fatigue, anxiety, insomnia and headaches.
2. Bamboo Massage

De-knot your body by getting rolled out like a sugar cookie with a Bamboo rolling pin-esque Massage. The massage therapist will knead, glide and roll a Bamboo reed along shoulders, back and legs to pamper and penetrate tense muscles.
The benefits of Bamboo-ing:
Bamboo Massage promotes blood circulation, improves sensory nerve perception, and does lymphatic drainage. Bamboo also symbolizes longevity, luck and strength, making it a somewhat spiritual spa experience.
3. Cupping and Gua Sha

Did you ever wish you could literally suck or scrape the pain and soreness right out of your body? With the ancient Chinese healing therapies of cupping and Gua Sha, you can!
How it works:
Cupping uses suction on the skin’s surface to “suck” stagnant blood from deep beneath the surface, and Gua Sha “scrapes” the skin to mobilize blood flow in a similar fashion. Both alternative therapies provide extreme pain and tension relief, especially on the back. These therapies are becoming more and more mainstream, despite the temporary bruising it causes, as new consumers experience their drastic benefits.
4. Acupressure

No pressure to get pricked here. Acupressure employs the concept of acupuncture, (the granddaddy of healing) only rather than needles, it uses physical pressure of hands, elbows and other devices. Practitioners target specific points along the body’s energy pathways, or “meridians,” to encourage healing and balance in the individual.
What it’s good for:
Relief from allergies, chronic arthritis pain and migraines; pain-sufferers can reap the benefits of this ancient Chinese medicine without fear of being poked.
5. Boozing with Benefits

It’s always happy hour at the spa, but more and more spas are incorporating alcoholinto their treatment offerings.
On the cocktail menu:
Champagne and wine-infused treatments can smooth skin tissue, stimulate blood flow and are a powerful ingredient in anti-aging. Beer yeast is rich in elements that increase skin elasticity and improve acne by suppressing sebum. Even Scotch Whiskey is showing up on the spa scene; it’s full of sugars, minerals and vitamin B6, giving it excellent hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.
6. Shellac Attack

There’s been a lot of hype around UV Manicures, especially the popular Shellac Manicure since it first launched last Spring – the hard lustrous finish! The zero dry-time! The 14-day no chipping/smudging/denting promise! And did you see the Shellac flash mob? A cross between gels and a regular manicure, products like Shellac and Axxium are certainly no fad, as the color selection gets larger and trendier each season.
Why Shellac?
Spa-goers love Shellac Manicures because they get a long lasting, no-mess result, and spas love them just as much because it brings in new clients and revenue, without increasing the service time. Shellac Manicures are a win-win!
7. Men’s Treatments
Did you know men make up for 31% of active spa-goers? And did you know the most common spa packages offered are for men, with 45% of U.S. spas offering such a package? By incorporating no-frills, guy-friendly scents like sandalwood, mustard seed, eucalyptus and thyme, spas are able to successfully market to men.
What services are considered guy-friendly?
Hot Shaves, Gentlemen’s Facials, Golf Ball Massages and more have enticed male consumers to experiment and experience the health benefits of the spa just as frequently as their female counterparts (who, oftentimes, are the ones who got them hooked!).
8. Mobile Spas (not to be confused with Spa Week’s Mobile App)

With more and more mobile food establishments rolling around the country serving gourmet dishes and desserts, spas aren’t far behind. One of the emerging trends is getting your massage, facial, or other spa service street-side, in a spa on wheels.
Why go mobile?
Mobile spas are in high demand as they conveniently bring the day spa experience right to your home, office or venue. With gas prices at an all-time high, the mobile spa experience saves time and money, and is now a popular and sought-after addition to wellness and bridal parties and even corporate events.
9. Deep Sea Spa-ing
The massage therapist can work the full 360 degrees of your body.
10. Spa with a Conscience
“Green” spas and treatments are thriving right now in the industry; spa owners are making critical revisions by incorporating renewable energy, holistic and eco-friendly services and indigenous ingredients into their businesses, and it’s paying off in the long run.
But how?
More and more consumers are considering a spa’s environmental philosophy, along with price and location in their decision to visit a new spa. Spas are practicing conservation by purchasing organic linens, biodegradable aesthetic gauze and eco-friendly cleaning supplies to keep each guest sanitary and safe during their appointment. How’s that for a feel-good spa day?
