From collagen supplements to cold plunges every morning, it’s a real challenge these days to stay up on the latest trends in health and wellness – especially determining which ones are simply health fads and which are actually beneficial to your overall wellness growth.

After all, multiple trends are defining the $1.8 trillion global wellness market in 2024. But consumers today are no longer simply trying out these health and wellness trends and hoping for the best, but rather asking, “Does it really work?” And thank goodness for that.

The luxurious spa at The Landings Golf and Athletic Club’s Oakridge Wellness Center offers a trustworthy mix of self-care for men and women, from massage to Qigong Healing sessions and much more, all to reduce stress and bring you joy.

Holistic Health Services

Holistic health services encompass a range of practices aimed at promoting overall well-being and treating the whole person by addressing the mind, body and spirit. It’s not quite alternative medicine, but it’s close.

Focus on increasing lifespan by improving healthspan.

Many of the practices include activities such as yoga or tai chi, which combine physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation to enhance physical fitness and improve mental clarity.

The following holistic health services are available at The Landings:

• Qigong Healing is an ancient Chinese practice that combines gentle movements, controlled breathing and meditation to improve the flow of energy. It is used to clear blockages and restore a healthy flow of energy to the body. Some believe it can treat a variety of health conditions.
• Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that uses gentle touch to balance and change the energy fields around the body. Reiki practitioners believe people have an energy force within and around their bodies, and that this energy flows between the practitioner and the client that promotes healing. It is a simple and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.
• Tai Chi is a gentle, low-impact exercise that originated in China as a martial art. It involves a series of slow, controlled movements and postures, often performed while standing. Practitioners also focus on deep breaths. Tai chi is sometimes called “moving meditation” or “meditation in motion” to help with mental health.
• Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to connect the mind, body, and breath. It focuses on harmony between the mind and body, but many Westerners practice it for weight loss or stress reduction.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body using techniques such as kneading, pressing, and rubbing. This practice, rooted in ancient healing traditions, is renowned for its ability to alleviate stress, reduce muscle tension, and promote overall relaxation.

By enhancing blood circulation and releasing endorphins, massage therapy helps to soothe the mind and body.

At the Landings Golf & Athletic Club Spa, all different types of massage services. They include Wellness, Hot-Stone, Deep-Tissue, Sports Massage, and CBD Massages.

• Wellness Massage: Like a classic Swedish Massage, our therapists will curate your treatment using a wide array of modalities with your wellness in mind.
• Deep-Tissue: This service focuses on the deeper layers of connective and muscle tissues using pressure and different techniques to release chronic patterns of tension in the body
• Hot- Stone: Heated Basalt lava stones are used and incorporated throughout the massage to warm the muscles and manipulate tissue.
• Sports Massage: Like a deep tissue massage, this treatment specifically works on manipulating the connective tissue surrounding the joints that are stressed during different types of physical activity.
• CBD Wellness Massage: By combining nature’s remedy with skilled massage techniques, CBD massage is a holistic way to heal and reduce inflammation that causes body aches.

Other Wellness Selfcare Options

Practicing self-care is a vital part of staying fit and healthy. Other services at the Landings Golf & Athletic Club Spa include facials, peels, waxing and more.

Body scrubs exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and promoting smoother, more radiant skin. Typically made with ingredients like sugar, salt, or coffee grounds, scrubs also improve circulation and can help with relaxation.

Facials deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated complexion. Popular types of facials include hydrating facials, anti-aging facials, and acne treatment facials.

Peels (chemical or enzyme) exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and improving texture and tone. They address issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. Popular peel types include glycolic acid (light), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) (medium), and phenol peels (deep).

Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive treatment that shaves away the upper most layer of skin that is usually comprised of dead skin cells and peach fuzz leaving renewed skin. Dermaplaning can reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and acne scars.

Microdermabrasion: This minimally invasive treatment can renew skin tone and texture using suction and various diamond encrusted tips to exfoliate leaving the skin plump and soft. The light suction assists with blood circulation under the surface of the skin. 

Brow lamination is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure that uses a chemical solution to straighten and lift eyebrow hairs, creating a fuller and more uniform look. Lamination addresses thinning, unruly, or uneven brows, while the steps involve applying a lifting cream, brushing the hairs into place, setting them with a neutralizer, and finishing with a nourishing oil.

Waxing involves the removal of unwanted hair from the root using a special wax, providing smoother skin for longer periods compared to shaving. It enhances personal grooming, boosts confidence, and can lead to fewer ingrown hairs and slower hair regrowth.

Lash Services: Lash extensions involve applying individual synthetic lashes onto each natural eyelash to add extra length. We also do Last Lifting and Tinting for a more natural look
