What we mean by "knowing the basics" in terms of any health spa? Ask the right questions and you'll go into your search with a real idea of what you can get for your money and time. For beginners, the first question to answer for yourself might be "what is a spa?"

The word 'spa' gets tossed around a lot at health clubs and in fashion and celebrity magazines. But where did the idea of a spa come from? And what kind of benefits are a spa supposed to offer you? What are the main kinds of therapy or treatment available to you at a spa?

Spas are generally created around the idea of the healing power of water treatments. You might want to do some research into the role water has played historically in promoting health, and what health benefits you can find from water treatments today.

If you're researching the various treatments available to you, it might be a help if you get some idea of the unique words and terms used in spa treatment. The more you understand the spa lingo, the better you'll be able to understand the treatments, processes and philosophies.

Lastly, you might want to research the differences between the types of spas available so that you're sure that you're picking a spa that offers the services you're looking for. Once you've covered these key areas of knowledge, you'll be in a great place to begin your search for a facility that suits your treatment needs and your level of commitment.
