We tested three different classic treatments that will delight you as a Mother’s Day gift. The gift stress is solved in these moments.
For complete relaxation: hot stone massage
Nursing home: Massage Room Lily H. Hot stone massages are performed in several clinics throughout the country.
Price: 85 e.
Duration: 75 minutes.
Care promise: Hot stone massage is a gentle but effective form of massage. It deepens and relieves muscle tension. In the treatment, the combination of massage and heat effectively relaxes the whole body and thus the mind. Hot stone massage offers a holistic massage and treatment experience.
Course of treatment: Smooth, heated basalt stones and unscented oil were used for the massage. Initially, the muscles of the body were examined through classical massage techniques. The same areas were then traversed by heated stones, which further relaxed and opened up the tense areas with the help of heat. In the massage, the movement started from the soles of the feet upwards.
How did it feel: Hot stone massage is not worthless forever. This massage did exactly what it promised, that is, it relaxed and opened the body’s tension. The masseur was able to open the tense muscles effectively enough, but not overdo it, ie the massage was a relaxing and pampering experience for the body as a whole. The plus is that the tightened muscle tensions of the hands and fingers of the end worker, who were tensed with picks, were gone through, releasing them. At the end of the treatment, a citrus-scented essential oil was mixed with the massage oil, which provided a pleasant sensory experience when massaging the head and neck area. There was only one treatment room in the test nursing home, which was a private treatment that added a luxurious feeling of pampering.
Glow and well-being for the face: Firming facial treatment
Nursing home: Beauty salon Rosé. The facials of the Biodroga MD skin care series are offered by spas all over Finland.
Price: 131 e.
Duration: 90 minutes.
Care promise: The Biodroga MD Series Firming Anti-Age Facial is a luxurious and relaxing facial tailored to meet the needs of skin that needs firming and radiance. The treatment includes a firming ultrasound Sonolift device treatment that softens and smoothes the lines, as well as a gentle acid treatment and a relaxing massage.
Course of treatment: After the initial cleansing, a gentle enzyme peel was applied to brighten the facial skin. The facial skin was then treated with Sonolift, where the treatment product was absorbed into the skin using ultrasonic vibration and various massage techniques. The treatment was followed by a massage of the face, neck, decolté and neck-shoulder area. Finally, a mask was applied to the face. The treatment was completed with a day and eye cream according to the skin type. Recommended for serial therapy.
How did it feel: The facial treatment was primarily a relaxing experience that left the face looking moisturized and well-being. The tightness and haze on the face disappeared and the previously dry skin looked genuinely recovered. Beautician Diana Rosentaun the competent grip was visible throughout the treatment, from the initial cleansing to the ultrasound treatment and the rest to a relaxing massage. The facial massage enhanced the absorption of the treatment products and helped relax the facial muscles. According to Rosentaum, this can also prevent fine lines and wrinkles due to muscle tension. All Biodroga MD products used in the treatment felt effective, but at the same time gentle.
To release muscle deposits: Full body massage
Nursing home: Misa Wellness Spa. In addition to Helsinki, Thai Wellness Day Spas can be found in Finland’s largest cities.
Price: 89 e.
Duration: 90 minutes.
Care promise: An ideal massage to relax and prevent a numb feeling. Oils are used in a full-body massage to open tight muscles and joints. Instead, traditional Thai massage movements and stretches during treatment, which strengthen the sensation and effectively trigger muscle tension, are performed without oil. The treatment is completed by a head massage.
Course of treatment: The descent into the treatment began with a foot wash done during a tea break. As with traditional Thai massage, the massage was performed on a wide, relatively hard massage platform to give the masseur room for traditional Thai massage muscle stretching while the client was lying down or sitting. The full body massage began with the toes, progressed through the legs to the back and neck-shoulder area, and finally the hands and head were massaged.
How did it feel: During the treatment, the masseur took turns exercising on the spine, opening the tight muscles of the neck or clicking his toes. At the same time, he was able to effectively open the entire body with pain points in both large and small muscles and joints. Tight muscles opened effectively, but not as painfully as traditional sports massage. The feeling was more energetic than after the traditional massage, due to the stretching movements of the treatment massage that are part of the Thai massage.
