THE JACUZZI: BEFORE OR AFTER THE MASSAGE?

The jacuzzi is much more than just a moment of pleasure: it is an opportunity to enjoy numerous benefits for the body and mind. Thanks to its pleasantly warm temperature and jets that give a feeling of weightlessness, it is an excellent way to help facing stress and even anxiety. In Saint-Germain-des-Prés, many of our customers ask us whether it is better to enjoy our private jacuzzi before or after their massage.

The answer is simple: the jacuzzi reveals its full potential... once the massage is over.

Here are a few explanations...

EXTEND THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF THE MASSAGE

During a thaï massage or an Asian Mix massage (signature massage of Janthra Spa), your masseuse works deeply on muscle tension. It is therefore normal for certain muscles, which have been worked hard, to become sensitive. This is a very good sign : the massage is helping the body to correct any remaining imbalances.

After the session, the jacuzzi helps to reduce this sensitivity thanks to its heat, which dilates the blood vessels and improves blood circulation while aiding recovery – just like stretching after a workout. It also helps to dissipate any remaining tension: the ideal solution for relieving neck pain or heavy legs. 

DETOXIFY THE BODY AT THE IDEAL TIME

After a deep massage, particularly a traditional Thai massage or the signature Asian Mix massage, it is normal for certain muscles that have been worked hard to become sensitive.

After your session, the jacuzzi helps to reduce this sensitivity thanks to its heat, which improves blood circulation, relaxes the muscles that have been worked on and aids recovery – just like stretching after a workout.

THE BEST WAY TO END YOUR WELLNESS BREAK

After a massage, it is advisable to prefer calm activities: going for a walk, reading, having a bath... As Janthra explains in this article, there are certain steps to follow in order to optimise the benefits of your massage, and the jacuzzi is one of them! Speaking of which, did you know that by soothing the body and mind, it can help you sleep better? This is thanks to the release of endorphins and melatonin. Of course, you should take it at the end of the day.

Ending your experience with this warm bath allows your mind to float for a few more moments... a soothing transition before taking your bubble of well-being with you as you leave Janthra Spa. 

The purpose of Janthra Spa is to take care of the body and mind of each of its visitors. Would you also like to discover the experience of Thai massage in Saint-Germain-des-Prés? Do not hesitate any longer and book your session now on our website.
