Last week my husband and I went for much-needed rest and relaxation. We went to Q Thai Spa in BF Resort Las Pinas and availed the Ventosa massage and Thai foot massage. My husband and I are massage enthusiasts. We usually have our massage dates on our birthdays or on special occasions. This time we celebrated my husband's birthday.
We tried for the first time the Ventosa Massage. I am very curious about this unusual massage and the effects of the lit candled suctioning glasses on your body.
Ventosa is an ancient Chinese Medicine. It restores the out of balance “Chi” through the application of suction and pressure resulting in the intense flowing of energy throughout the body. Ventosa nourishes the muscle and the skin by drawing the Chi to the surface of the body. The stagnated and out of balanced Chi can be restored by exerting suction and pressure resulting in invigorating energy flowing throughout the body. https://www.facebook.com/NuatThaiMasinag/posts/ventosa-massage-cupping-therapy-is-performed-by-placing-glass-on-specific-accupo/527770443966417/
Our treatment and massage started with the washing of our feet. The stones were very nice detail in their wash area. Then we were directed to their couple's room. I like their couple's room since it is quite spacious with an exclusive restroom and shower room. The room temperature is nice I do not like freezing cold while having a massage. The music is perfectly relaxing the chirping of the birds and flowing water really soothes my tired body.
The Ventosa Massage started on a back massage which I really like. The pressure was medium good for relaxing my tired and aching muscles. Then after the back massage, they prepared the ventosa glasses.
Ventosa Massage Cupping Therapy is performed by placing a glass on specific acupoints on your back. The therapist performing ventosa then moves the cup toward the outside part of the body sucking the air away. In order to create a vacuum effect, a flame from a burning cotton ball is placed in an inverted cup. After the oxygen in the cup burns out, the cup is placed directly on the skin where it is held in a place by strong suction. This draws the skin inside the cup. Proper placement of the glasses on the tensed points should be implemented. This is usually done on the shoulder blades where you have frozen shoulders and at the back area where the guest usually feel back pain. This is also placed on the lower back area to relieve lower back pains. Ventosa cupping opens these meridians in the body that allows the flow of “QI” along with the problem areas. https://www.facebook.com/NuatThaiMasinag/posts/ventosa-massage-cupping-therapy-is-performed-by-placing-glass-on-specific-accupo/527770443966417/
After the ventosa the therapist massage again our back then our legs. I was re-energized and recharged. I especially love their face massage and head massage. I felt like I was having a facelift. The whole ventosa massage was 1 1/2 hours of pure bliss and relaxation. I highly recommend everyone especially moms and working adults to have a regular massage to heal and relax your tired body. After the ventosa massage, We opted for an additional Thai foot massage for 30 minutes.
Overall I like Q Thai Spa. I like their place it has charming and unique details essential to complete your spa visit. They have a pink Himalayan salt lamp which I know has wonderful health benefits such as balancing Electromagnetic Radiation, cleanses, deodorizes, and purifies the air. It also calms allergies and reduces asthma. Amazingly boost blood flow, raises energy levels, and enhances mood. The massage is very soothing and relaxing it is perfect for working parents like us. The cost of the massage is in the mid-range but for me is worth my money. Here is the menu of Q Thai Spa massage and treatments
The spa visit won't be complete without the complimentary hot tea. I like their ginger tea. It is minty and sweetened perfectly by honey.
Try to reward yourself with a good massage.
It's good for your soul, health, and body.
