The Greeks and Romans pioneered the idea of spas for health and relaxation over 2000 years ago. Their invention enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in Victorian times but bubbled away almost unnoticed for the best part of the last century.
Now they are an essential part of 21st century with a plethora of treatments to help relieve the stresses & strains of our modern life-styles and restore our bodies to the peak of perfection.
