spa therapy
Relaxation through pampering
Spa therapy refers to health and relaxation treatments typically offered at spas, including massages, facials, body wraps, hydrotherapy, and similar services.
The term emphasizes therapeutic benefits—stress relief, muscle recovery, skin improvement—rather than mere pampering: Her doctor recommended spa therapy for her chronic back pain.
Often used interchangeably with spa treatments.
