Sometimes it's easier to stay at a spa that only serves low-calorie foods than one where you eat all meals in the main dining room. Some spas are fancy and people dress up for dinner. Others are more casual. When making reservations, ask about the type of clothing you'll need to bring. Massage therapy is now being used in treating conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and for reducing the pain of arthritis.
Most spas have a non-smoking policy.
If you smoke, ask about the restrictions when making reservations.
