I am going to spend a week's vacation at a resort that has a spa. This isn't really a spa getaway, but I've been to this resort before and the spa is very good. I would like to visit the spa on at least 6 days, to get either a massage or a body treatment. I know I will have both the time and money to do this. Can you help me plan which treatments to get and in what order?
For example, I imagine I should get a Swedish massage early in the week and a deep tissue massage later in the week, but I'm just guessing. I'm interested in massages for muscle tension (knots, stress, etc.) and body treatments for very dry skin. The muscle tension is more important than the dry skin. I want to get just one treatment a day. Here's the menu of options:
Massages
Swedish Massage
Deep tissue massage
Sports massage
Reflexology massage
Four hand massage
Hot stone massage
Body Treatments
Babassu sugar rub
Seaweed wrap
Manzanilla mud wrap
Volcanic mud wrap
Chocolate therapy
Wine therapy
Which of the above should I get and in which order? I'm currently thinking: 1) Swedish massage, 2) sugar rub, 3) hot stone massage, 4) mud wrap, 5) deep tissue massage
My idea is to progress from less intense to more intense massage, and to start the body treatments with exfoliating. The mud wrap just sounds interesting. A few other odds and ends -- I am usually sore for 2 days after a massage, and my skin is super, super dry -- I really can't ever moisturize it enough.
