I am just returned from my 10th stay at Kamalaya Koh Samui and what an exceptional experience. I am very privileged to represent this unique Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa.
This time I chose the 5-day Structural Revival wellness program which is designed to Increase mobility and flexibility, reduce structural tension and discomfort and provides the tools to continue progress at home. Recommended for Improvement of posture, for those sitting at desks for long periods (sounds familiar…) and rehabilitation after injury or surgery.
I started with a Body Bio-Impedance Analysis (BIA) which is a method for estimating body composition. I’m not one to boast, but…. I came top of grade with a Platinum Tru Body Score which you can only achieve if you have a highly advantageous muscle to fat ratio. Who knew!
Working with a Physiotherapist, Wellness Consultant and the Fitness Team my treatments included Traditional Asian Foot Massage with Herbal Foot Soak. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Super Stretching with Fitness Trainer, Myofascial Release Therapy & Revival Exercise and Pilates Sessions.
Combined with daily complimentary group holistic activities, time out at their 25-metre lap pool and steam cavern and Kamalaya’s wonderful healthy, inspired cuisine which combines Eastern and Western culinary traditions; it wasthe perfect rest reset and revive experience!
