With only four weeks to go before Christmas why not buy a River Kwai Thai Spa gift voucher. What better way to show someone how much you care about them than to give them a gift of personal indulgence such as a massage?

Vouchers are available for any price you want to pay and can be redeemed against any treatment. The amount on the voucher can be used as part or full payment towards a treatment and it is not necessary to redeem the full amount in one go if you are feeling generous and the treatment is less than the voucher value.

If you do not live near Gloucester we are happy to post vouchers to you so you can send to your friends around Gloucester.

We will be open over Christmas and the new year with limited staffing on 25th and 26th December and 1ST January.

With the colder and damper weather approaching now has never been a more important time to have a massage. Below are just some of the benefits of massage in the winter:

• Reduces dry skin: With the lower humidity and cold winds, winter is the time many experience dry skin which can be uncomfortable and unattractive. Regular massage promotes your skin’s production of collagen, increasing its moisture and elasticity, in addition to the massage oils that help to keep your skin soft, supple, and hydrated.

• Improves circulation: Cold weather tends to slow down blood circulation, with your body focusing on keeping your vital organs supplied with blood. This results in increased blood pressure and reduced oxygen around the body. Regular massage enhances blood flow and body warmth, increasing the flow of oxygen around the body.

• Boosts the immune system: Massage helps stimulate the lymph nodes, part of the lymphatic system, the part of your immune system which protects your body from foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. The lymph nodes help the white blood cells fight off infections which are more prevalent in the winter.

• Improves mental health: Winter can be a very depressing time with dark and cold days. Massage stimulates the endocrine system where hormones are created. This results in decreased cortisol levels (a stress-related hormone) and increased levels of dopamine, serotonin and endorphins (the happy hormones), which relieve stress and enhance your mood.

• Maintains fitness: Many people are less active during the winter months and develop aches and pains in their muscles and joints. Whilst having a massage is not the same as going to the gym, a massage stretches your muscles and helps to keep your joints working properly. So it is a great way to relieve those aches and pains and give you energy to make it through to the spring.

So, now that that winter nights are drawing in and the weather is cold and damp you can still experience the warmth and peacefulness and all the winter benefits of a tropical Thai massage at River Kwai Thai Spa in Northgate Street, Gloucester. Call us on 01452 424110 or 07487 604241 to make your booking.
