QM Spa, New York

Your body is unique. That's why the skilled therapists at QM Spa always tailor bodywork to individual needs. Clients can opt for light to medium strokes to increase circulation or firmer pressure to untie stubborn knots. But massage is only one weapon in the spa's tension-fighting arsenal. Along with soothing body scrubs and Tibetan steaming, QM offers Vichy showers, which harness the healing power of hot water to deter stress and work muscles until they're as relaxed as a pile of sleeping kittens.
