For the Athlete: Fascial Stretching
“Fascial stretch therapy is a unique system of table-based stretching,” explains Cabrera. “It focuses on the fascia itself, which is the connective tissue system that surrounds every muscle, nerve, bone and internal organ.” By concentrating on the fascia, guests can achieve strength and pain relief. “There are great benefits to fascial stretch therapy,” Cabrera points out. “It eliminates pain from tension and stress, improves circulation and increases your mobility and range of motion.” It also improves balance and coordination, reduces risk of injury and increases recovery time. This treatment can benefit everyone, not only athletes!

For the Vino Lover: Wine Down Massage
This decadent treatment involves the resort’s sommeliers, who pair very specific wines to the aromatherapies that are utilized in the service. Before the massage, guests are presented with a flight of wine and an information card that describes the notes of each one. Guests then choose a therapeutic-grade essential oil and wine pairing, and the masseuse will utilize that aromatherapy throughout a full-body massage. “At the end of the service, guests are presented with a full pour of the wine of their choice,” Cabrera says. “It’s one of our most popular massages.”

For the Pup: Pet Massage
Pet-friendly La Quinta Resort & Club offers a PAWS canine experience. Along with providing pet beds and stainless-steel bowls, the spa can perform relaxation treatments on your dog! “The pet massage is an in-room treatment for the guests who are staying here,” Cabrera explains. “The dog owner will receive their massage next to the pet in the comfort of their guest room.” She describes it as a very calming and bonding experience for both the pet owner and fur baby. The benefits for the pets are very similar to that for humans, such as releasing tension and relaxing muscles.
