Health Spa Reviews - The Next Generation Spa, Cape Town Medi-Spa

   

Review by Carien Wandrag

I have never felt so ill equipped to try and do a place justice. This is a lifestyle waiting for you to embrace it. Impressive. Unique. Wholesome. Holistic. Futuristic. These are some of the impressions left by Cape Town Medi-Spa. It was all pleasantly overwhelming.

Forget everything you thought you knew about the term 'wellness centre', the Medi-Spa is the first to give it its true meaning. This is the first of its kind in South Africa, but I dare say watch this space as they are introducing a new era in wellness.

Set in a beautifully restored and reinvented 3-story building just behind/next to the Mount Nelson Hotel on Kloof Street, each floor represents different levels of body, mind and soul treatments. Their approach is simply: we take care of you as a whole.

Incorporated in this spa there is a bit of everything. I couldn't possibly start listing all their services, but suffice to say that they bring together a comprehensive selection of complementary therapies and treatments ranging from conventional medicine to spa treats. This approach ensures that cross-referrals will assist you in getting a WHOLE approach to wellness. Huh? What does this mean? Well, let me try and explain it like this.

No part of us can function without the other. Your mind affects your health; your body affects your emotions, and so on. We tend to "think for ourselves" and decided which part needs taking care of. For instance, stiff back = massage. What if the stiff back is an outflow of something else?

So, by including a diverse range of professionals and therapists under one roof you can learn, for example, how your diet affects your stress level or your body posture your general health. You can choose to treat yourself through more conventional methods such as with the GP/Homeopath or you could take time to rebalance your mind in the isolation chamber.

Relax and rejuvenate yourself with a massage or by sitting in the cyberchair. Align and strengthen your body with Pilates or by visiting the Osteomyologist. You can visit the Dermatologist or have laser hair removal. You can see the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon or simply have a facial. Psychotherapy, energy treatments, lifestyle coaching, corporate stress management, endermologie, and Reiki are all still just the tip of the iceberg of what you could experience here. They can even read your brainwaves with the latest in IBVA technology.

I could carry on like this forever! The point is, once you step into this new world of the Medi-Spa, all your problems should dissolve. There seems to be a specialist for almost any question you might have and they will recommend other practitioners that you might need and didn't even realise. Just give yourself over to them and let them take charge.

They quote Plato saying that "The cure of a part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole…" and this could not be more aptly used as it seems that at Cape Town Medi-Spa they integrate almost all the most essential body, mind and soul treatments. Had Plato been around, I think this would've been his personal choice of wellness centre.

I truly believe that by regularly visiting the Medi-Spa you can maintain a perfectly balanced lifestyle. I recommend that the simplest way to see exactly what I mean, is to… GO THERE!
