Bellarine Wellness Spa Reveals How a Massage Can Be the Key to De-stressing

VICTORIA, Australia November 2013 – According to a 2012 survey, a significant number of Aussies are experiencing stress and one out of five Australians admit that daily life stressors have made a significant impact on their mental and physical health.* In their search for the ultimate answer in relieving stress, the health and wellness industry in Australia has grown significantly, with a particular focus on alternative therapies including health and wellness spas. This industry has soared as the demand for an inexpensive way to relieve stress continues to grow.**

Today, good health not only means having a healthy body but also a strong mind and spirit. The traditional health industry’s only focus is on the body that is already sick or injured, but it is becoming far more widely recognised that physical aches and pains are symptoms of emotional issues, including stress, which can be prevented with a little tender loving care.

Lyndal McKechnie, proprietor and manager of a Bellarine massage spa named The Lotus Spa at Barwon Heads says, “The Health and Wellness Industry has been a very high growth industry for at least the last 10 years. Many of our clients’ lives have become fast-paced, so they have become conscious of the need to look after themselves, not only on the physical and mental level, but also on a spiritual plane. ‘New Age” is no longer a dirty word; hence, the increase in treatments such as Chakra Balancing and Reiki.” www.lotusspabarwonheads.com.au/

The owner of the Bellarine day spa and wellness resort explains, “Some clients are starting to understand that a ‘pampering experience’ isn’t just for once-in-a while, it has become a regular lifestyle choice enhancing their emotional, physical, spiritual, and social wellness. More people are looking to spas to heal and keep their bodies in good shape through pain relieving massages on the Bellarine Peninsula, anti-stress and water therapies, and general wellness advice. ‘Wellness Spa’ is becoming the new term for Spas – a move away from just surface-level beauty treatments.” www.lotusspabarwonheads.com.au/
