Reading, PA Spa and Massage

Holding multiple diplomas in acupuncture and Chinese herbology, Six Fishes Healing Arts founder and head practitioner Cara Frank draws upon three decades of experience to heal patients with Eastern and holistic modalities. Frank and her colleagues Tansy Briggs and Jennifer Harrison specialize in internal medicine, addressing a variety of ailments within an office boasting exposed-brick walls, wisdom-crammed bookshelves, and huge windows swathed with bright red curtains. The trio uses acupuncture, massage, herbs, and nutrition counseling to holistically treat chronic symptoms by aligning the mind, body, and spirit.

Lux Spa and Fitness relaxes and rejuvenates corpuses within its clean, 6,500-square-foot confines, where employees perform a survey of services that harness the botanical power of high-end Aveda products to cleanse, hydrate, and imbue skin with youthful oomph. Quench pre-pampering thirsts with lemon-lime water in the waiting room before undergoing a two-pronged facial package. The custom facial incorporates a treatment mask and massage, as well as aromatherapy and a combination of products tailored for each client's individual skin type and tendency to trip face-first into vats of butter. Next, one of the spa's staffers will conduct an eye-zone treatment employing flower-based formulas and gentle massage to cool and replenish the thin skin that surrounds peepers. Together, both services last a scant 50 minutes, freeing up the rest of the day to coyly wink at yourself in the mirror.

Dead skin cells, unwanted hair, and crumbs dull the pellucid celluloid of even the fairest face. Today's Groupon freshens faces with a $40 face-making treatment from Mullica Hill Skincare. Choose from a soothing facial ($85), microdermabrasion ($100 value), or a laser hair removal treatment for chin ($250) or lip ($120).

Hands In Motion owner Deborah Alexander-Kouassi folds her background in athletic training into each massage as she helps to restore range of motion, relieve tension, and dispel stress. Soothing heat flows from electric massage tables as hands iron out knots and boost circulation from foot to crown during Swedish massages. During therapeutic deep-tissue bodywork, firm pressure subdues spasms, calms inflammation, and knits decorative patches of muscle fiber to repair damaged soft tissue in bodies prone to chronic pain. Warm towels embrace weary feet and backs at the start of every session, and organic scents from Danielle and Company soothe both mind and body with calming essences of oat, ivy, and lavender. An aloe-vera-infused body wrap stimulates a detoxification reaction that can result in the loss of girth over fatty areas, as well as smoother and firmer skin. The candlelit serenity inside Hands In Motion relaxes clients in a way unfelt since the nine-month yoga session leading up to their birth.

A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the red-light facial, a light-based service that delivers anti-aging and blemish busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, tan with UV-light, and massage muscles. Clients can also make use of the personal oxygen bar.

Planet Beach offers membership packages or flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
