I am feeling quite lethargic and wondered what type of massage would give me a much-needed energy boost?
Any kind of revitalising, deep tissue or aromatherapy massage using uplifting oils such as citrus oils - which are also good for detoxing. It is good to include the stomach in a massage at this time of year to aid sluggish digestion (brought on through over indulgence) this will leave you feeling uplifted and revitalised rather than spaced out and feeling sleepy.

I have just had a baby and wondered what the best spa treatment would be for me to do?
Essential oils cannot be used if breastfeeding and some treatments during which you lay on your front may be uncomfortable too soon after a C-section. Each spa will advise facials, scalp massages, hand and foot treatments are very popular.

My local spa has just opened a hammam. I am tempted to try it out but don’t really know what type of treatment this is and what health benefits it offers?
Hammam treatment varies depending on where you have it done! In Turkey it can be quite a harsh treatment and involves being scrubbed quite vigorously and having a very deep massage afterwards. I personally experienced a hammam in Morocco a few years ago, it was in a large room with other clients there, I would not describe it as relaxing but I certainly felt very clean and like I'd had a thorough massage. In the UK we do things slightly differently. The experience is much more gentle and relaxing, you will be scrubbed on a heated plinth and showered off there, so no need to get up into a shower. The massage will also take place on the plinth, your massage should be adapted to your needs.

We are planning a break to a spa resort which offers thalassotherapy. Please could you tell me more about this water treatment which also includes one magnesium pool?
These are treatments that harness mineral and vitamin-rich seawater and seaweed for curative and preventative purposes. Historically, thalassotherapy centre are located no more than 800 metres from the shoreline and constantly pump fresh seawater through large canals for use in the treatments such as algae wraps or mineral baths.
