What Spa Breaks Do for Perimenopausal Women That Other Interventions Often Don’t

Your body is behaving strangely; sleep is disrupted; you seem to be losing your ability to regulate your temperature; and your moods are unpredictable. In most cases, these symptoms make you feel less resilient than before, but the demands of everyday life do not lessen following your changing needs.

Interventions that treat specific symptoms of perimenopause – from HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) to tackle the hormonal part, to exercise to improve mood and sleep quality, to dietary changes that support weight management and energy – can be nothing short of life-changing for the women who find them. The issue is what they don’t provide. Namely, time off from the intensity of perimenopause, in an immersive and sustained environment designed specifically for full-body and nervous system recovery.

For many women, a spa break has a unique advantage when it comes to the experience of perimenopause. For Spa Breaks Bristol, contact //hatherleymanor.com/the-spa/spa-breaks-cotswolds/bristol

In the thermal environment of a spa break, the combination of heat and cool can help to get your temperature regulation working again, which in turn can be really helpful when it comes to improving sleep quality; women have often reported that, even if sleep has been completely disrupted, just one day in the thermal spa has significantly helped to restore restfulness. Heat therapy also promotes downregulation of the nervous system, reducing feelings of fear and generalised hyperarousal or anxiety.

It’s worth noting that spa breaks aren’t medical treatments, nor are they in any way a substitute for medical treatment. The spa is providing the right conditions for your body to recover, which is especially important at a time when your body might be having to do more than usual and just isn’t getting the time and space to fully repair and recharge.
