Not exactly roughing it in Steamboat Springs, CO

Residents and visitors of Steamboat are known for their love of the outdoors and pushing their limits, but more and more weekend warriors are choosing massage in Steamboat Springs as their mode of recovery instead of hitting the bar for happy hour.

“Sure, a nice glass of wine and some appetizers sounded good, but I worked the trails hard today, and what I really wanted was a deep tissue massage so I can do it again tomorrow”, said Linda Smyth from Scottsdale, AZ. “I didn’t want to give back the calories I ended up burning all day today.”

The benefits of massage have been well documented. Massage helps positively affect circulation, reduce muscle tension and improve tissue healing. It also helps increase flexibility and range of motion, relieve stress and improve your overall posture through changing tension patterns. Massage can reduce anxiety and help create a stronger mind-body connection.

Finding the right day spa in Steamboat Springs can be challenging, but for Linda Smyth it was easy. “I love Life Essentials Day Spa. I’ve been to a lot of spas all over the country, but in my opinion, they are one of the best. They’re certainly my favorite day spa in Steamboat because they’re affordable and they give me the full hour, not 50 minutes like some places.”

Life Essentials Day Spa offers a wide variety of massage therapy treatments and spa packages.
