What is SPA 什么是水疗
Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropath, involves the use of water for pain-relief and treating illness. The term hydrotherapy itself is synonymous with the term water cure as it was originally marketed by practitioners and promoters in the 19th century. A hydrotherapist therefore, is someone who practices hydrotherapy.
Water cure has since come to have two opposing definitions, which can cause confusion.
(a) Water cure therapy-a course of medical treatment by hydrotherapy
(b) Water cure torture-a form of torture in which a person is forced to drink large quantities of water.
The sense used in this article is the first one, synonymous with the term hydrotherapy, and which precedes recorded use of the second sense.
Hydrotherapy in general encompasses a range of approaches and their definitions. These range from approaches and definitions which are either naturally distinct, or made so for marketing purposes, to approaches and definitions which overlap significantly, and which can be difficult to disentangle.
One such overlap pertains to spas. According to the International SPA Association (ISPA), hydrotherapy has long been a staple in European spas. It is the generic term for water therapies using jets, underwater massage and mineral baths (e.g. balneotherapy, Iodine-Grine therapy, Kneipp treatments, Scotch hose, Swiss shower, thalasso therapy) and others. It also can mean a whirlpool bath, hot Roman bath, hot tub, Jacuzzi, cold plunge and mineral bath. These treatments use physical water properties, such as temperature and pressure, for therapeutic purposes, to stimulate blood circulation and treat the symptoms of certain diseases.
SPA水疗(hydrotherapy)排毒(elimination of toxicant)通常与之后的香薰按摩(aromatherapy massage)一同进行。一整套的SPA水疗排毒过程一般是在沐浴、去角质(defoliator)、敷泥之后,利用高科技水疗仪的冷暖沐浴水柱为躺在水疗床上的客人做身体冲射,刺激身体细胞(cell)使其呈现活跃状态,再配合手法专业的推拿按摩(nephropathy),保持细胞良好状态,加速代谢和循环,达到排毒、耗脂、减肥(loose weight)的目的。最适合体内循环(intracorporeal circulation)不畅、易水肿(edema)的人士。根据统计,许多女性不爱运动,但又希望拥有健康而漂亮的外表与内在。这些怕懒又爱美的女性,藉由SPA的机器或是手法按摩,进而达到"淋巴引流排毒"(eliminating poison through lymph drainage from the whole body)的作用,是相当不错的一个好选择。
