Spa -
Sea to Sky Country is a hot bed for spa and alternative healing
centres. The growing popularity of wellness and alternative therapies
and the wilderness environment location have created many opportunities
for the spa industry to flourish in the region.
The spa treatment centres vary. Some
provide a specialty service while others offer a multiple selection
of treatments. Basically, the spa treatments available in the region
fall into three categories of service - spa massage,
healing or esthetic treatments. Each caters to a different part
of your body, mind and soul.
Throughout the region there are day, healing and physiotherapy
spas with some also providing massage and reflexology services.
The main concentration of spa therapy clinics are located in the
Whistler Village area. At last count there were 20 spa treatment
clinics operating.
Spas are no longer a women - only experience. In recent years men
have become one of the fastest growing segments of the spa industry.
Therefore, the spas vary in packages and treatments depending on
the certification of the therapists of each individual operation.
In general many of the Sea to Sky spas offer massage treatments
including sport, thai, aromatherapy, hot rock, deep tissue and shiatsu
massages. The services provided vary in price and duration so ask
questions so there are no surprises.
In many cases each spa has its own specialty and lists of available
treatment packages. Some of the more popular spa techniques provided
by local clinics include salt exfoliation, reflexology and body
wraps.
There are spas in the region that have won international recognition.
The industry is a growing one and some of the more popular spas
