New holistic, medical and physiotherapy offerings
Asia’s first and best destination spa, Chiva-Som, has launched 34 new treatments with the latest edition of its extensive Health and Wellness menu, complementing the award-winning retreats. With an unwavering focus on wellbeing and vitality, Chiva-Som continues to demonstrate its dedication to offering genuine lifestyle transformation through effective and innovative treatment programmes.
Now available in the resort in Hua Hin, Thailand, the new services are all in line with Chiva-Som’s philosophy of providing beauty, health and longevity solutions in a supportive and tranquil beachfront location.
HOLISTIC HEALTH
New for 2010 is a consultation with Chiva-Som’s Integrative and Anti Aging Medicine doctor who is an expert at looking beyond diagnoses and symptoms to the causative factors in a person’s history. He uses exercise, herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle advice, relaxation therapies and laboratory testing to identify triggers of disease. The doctor can prescribe bio-identical hormones and/or personalised nutrition supplements where necessary.
The new Biofeedback Stress Management service monitors heart rate variability on screen; while the individual learns stress management techniques, they will see instantly which helps the most. Mi-en Acupressure is a facial acupressure treatment which stimulates nerves and muscles and moves the chi through the acu-points. The results include relaxed muscles, a boost in collagen production and a rejuvenated appearance.
PHYSIOTHERAPY
Gyrotonic exercise is performed on a pulley tower to give complete freedom of movement. Constant resistance in the handle unit and pulley tower eliminates jarring as the circular spiraling and undulating movements increase the functional capacity of the spine. H2O Body Complex uses water as a power gym to prevent joint injury. Cardiovascular exercises are individually designed to provide physical fitness, strength, endurance, flexibility and body composition. Chiva-Som’s Kinesthetic Assessment is a physical diagnosis using muscle testing to find joint problems and spine alignment imbalances, and includes a written report. Re-functional Exercise analyses posture, muscle and soft tissue to create a specific rehabilitation programme. Individual programmes may combine Pilates and self awareness using a variety of exercises to aid postural correction, strengthen core muscle and increase total body flexibility.
BEAUTY ENHANCEMENT
Chiva-Som’s medi-spa has expanded its facial beauty services to include Skin Refine by Fraxel which uses pinpoint lasers that penetrate beneath the skin’s surface to eliminate damaged skin cells and stimulate the natural healing process. Effective on delicate areas of the neck, chest, hands and face, the treatment targets up to 35% of the skin. Improving the appearance of the surface of the skin is Ultrapeel Microdermabrasion, which removes the dead and damaged skin cells using a jet of micro crystals.
LONGEVITY AND ANTI-AGING
Chiva-Som’s laboratory and pharmacy services now include functional medicine laboratory tests which examine functional profiles from digestion to toxicity to unique genetic risk profile. Through these integrative, scientifically researched diagnostic techniques, guests can gain a better understanding of how their body functions and individual health conditions. Profiling tests include: detoxification profile; food intolerance testing; heavy metal profile; micronutrients profile and genetic testing for specific disease risk.
Chiva-Som uses genetic tests from reputable US laboratories, which are targeted only at assessing the major genetic variations that contribute to specific diseases covering specific issues. All tests are focused towards providing useful nutritional and lifestyle interventions that one can use to lower disease risk as indicated by genetic make-up.
