标题：Spa的定义

What Is A Spa? Spas conjure up images of mud baths and meditation classes in the desert. But lately they seem to be popping up everywhere, even in strip malls. How can they all be spas? What is a spa, anyway? Modern spas have their roots in towns famed for the healing powers of their mineral waters and hot springs. Travelers would come to "take the waters" and restore their health. Today this concept is greatly expanded. Today's spas range from a "day spa", where people can drop in for therapuetic massage,, facials,and and body treatmentson a day-use basis, to the "destination spa," where people immerse themselves in a total spa experience, including healthy food, exercise, medical evaluations, stress management, nutrition education, spiritual growth and more. But there are many other types of spas, including spa resorts, medical spas and urban hotel spas. No one is regulating use of the word "spa". That's why some hair salons call themselves a "spa" when all they have is one massage table in a room. Most day spas are independent operations and range from homespun spas in converted houses to lavish multi-million dollar facilities. If you don't have a recommendation from a friend, check out the facilities yourself before booking an appointment. You can always drop in and ask for a quick tour. At a minimum, a day spa should offer professionally administered therapuetic massage,, facials,and and body treatments(Most offer manicures and pedicures as well.) At its most elaborate, a destination spa like Canyon Ranch has a staff of physicians, psychologists, nutritionists and physical therapists. It offers so many classes, lectures and services that and so many things going on that you could spend months there and still not experience them all.
