What does the word "SPA" written in front of the beauty salon mean?
The word SPA comes from Latin (Solus Par Aqua), Solus means health, Par means menstruation and Aqua means water, so SPA is healthy water. In the hot sun city of Belgium, there is a small town called SPAU. In ancient Rome, residents found that there were many springs with low salt content. Drinking or bathing is good for people's health. Residents use this spring to treat diseases, which is the origin of SPA.

Types of hydrotherapy

SPA is a big concept, which can be divided into three types. One is a scenic hot spring that uses natural landscape and existing resources, and the other is a hot spring facility provided by hotels or resorts, which is called a holiday hot spring. The first two are characterized by their integration with nature and wide indoor and outdoor horizons. The last one is the urban Spa in the city, which is a Spa maintenance center in a metropolis, focusing on professional maintenance and massage.

No matter what kind of SPA, there must be a hot spring physiotherapy room, a professional beauty therapist and an elegant environment. All treatments are inseparable from hydrotherapy.
