Taking time for ourselves by booking a spa trip is often viewed as a luxury, but prioritizing your mental and physical well-being should be a daily commitment. With wellness becoming a prominent topic, our Country Club team has noticed a growing interest in the benefits of self-care, and Country Club Manager, Patrick McManus, is excited to share his top tips for incorporating wellness into your everyday routine.
Posture Correction
Whether you spend your day on your feet or seated at a desk, remaining in the same position for extended periods can strain your body, especially your back. Over time, physical tension builds up, leading to discomfort and poor posture. A 25-minute back treatment can help alleviate this tension, providing immediate relief and reducing long-term issues. Our team also offers postural advice to ensure you maintain comfort and avoid future strain.
Stretching
Incorporating stretch breaks throughout your day can significantly improve mobility and flexibility. Whether you're stretching your legs after sitting for a while or loosening up your neck, regular stretching helps prevent joint pain and injury. If you're new to stretching, consider attending a yoga class in our studio or consult with Patrick and the team for personalised advice during your next visit.
Fresh Air
The health benefits of enjoying fresh air are vast, from boosting brain function to releasing serotonin into your bloodstream. Taking time to breathe in the outdoors can rejuvenate your mental health. Whether you prefer active pursuits like tennis, golf, or a walk, or simply relaxing on the terrace with views of the Ashdown Forest, our Country Club offers plenty of opportunities to incorporate fresh air into your routine.
Socialising
Spending time with loved ones boosts serotonin levels and enhances our overall mood. Making time for social interaction helps relieve daily stresses or allows us to share them with someone we trust. The Forest Brasserie, located at the Country Club, is the perfect spot for a catch-up with loved ones, boasting gorgeous views over the forest, and a varied menu of locally sourced food and drink to enjoy.
At Home Skin Care
Skincare routines can range from simple to elaborate, but the key is finding what works best for you. While the internet is full of product recommendations, it’s essential to remember that not everything will suit your skin type. After your treatment at the Country Club, our therapists are available to help you identify your skin type and recommend products tailored to your needs. Healthy, well-nourished skin not only enhances your glowing appearance but also boosts your confidence, helping you take on the day.
