I went to Spa Elements recently and did some treatments which I really enjoyed a lot.
1. Chiropractic treatment
2. Tui Na Massage (which the Spa is famous for)
3. Catabolic Slimming
4. Customized facial for my skin
What makes this spa stands out from others is that they have Chiropractic treatment. Spa is not just about massage or facial. Hence, Spa Elements can treat you inside out.
I was really amazed by the chiropractic analysis as I didn’t know that there was something wrong with my structure, even when I am standing straight!!
Let me share my results with you:
From the first picture, you can see that my whole body is tilted to the right (left in the picture).
From the side, I would say that it looks okay but not exactly straight enough judging from the red line.
According to the doctor, my head is also slightly tilted infront than upright which could be due to my sitting posture when I am using the computer. I believe that I am not the only one having this problem because computer has been an essential part of almost everyone’s life!
Abnormal posture has been associated with the development and progression of many spinal conditions and injuries including: increased muscle activity and disc injury, scoliosis, work lifting injuries, sports injuries, back pain, neck pain, headaches, carpal tunnel symptoms, shoulder and ankle injuries as well as many other conditions.
It is for these health consequences you should strive to improve your spinal and postural alignment towards normal.
If your case is not that serious yet, you could perhaps visit the chiropractic doctor and let him take a look. It is always better to treat it early so that you can avoid a surgery!

The Tui Na Massage ($120 for 60 minutes) was also pretty comfortable, especially when I have been suffering from upper back ache. And I asked the lady if she could focus more on my upper back.
They have different type of oil for the massage and since mine was muscle ache and all, I picked the Calm (the bottle in blue).
I do not have to say anything else and she went “The muscles on your neck area and lower back are quite tense! Do you have a busy life?” And YUP, BINGO, I do!
The whole session loosened up my muscles and gave me a kind of ache which I love. It’s something like muscle ache after gyming but in a comfortable way. The ache didn’t last long though. Probably only 30 minutes.
Immediately after the Massage was the Catabolic Slimming.
You may go “Aiya, you’re so skinny, what is there to slim?”
But you’re wrong. Tummy fats are the hardest to get rid of!
The Catabolic Tummy Massage is at $100 for 30 minutes which involves a Colonic Massage and Meridian Infra Ray Moxibustion – stimulates specific acupuncture points of the body.
The massage can improve the body’s immune, circulatory and digestive system to restore balance and promote healthy body weight.
Benefits like reduce constipation, promote gastrointestinal motility and flattens the tummy can be achieved.
It was kinda hot at first but as my body gets used to it, it becomes warm and it was very very comfortable. It leaves the tummy with a kind of ache which lasted for half a day.
But the results was surprising. I could see a flatter tummy in just 1 session.

Next next! The facial room!!
Like the massage room, it was dim and comfortable.
I don’t really have pimples but the irritants from the haze gave me breakout!!! (Espeically on the forehead).
Though dim, you can still see pimples on the forehead (face palm) after removing the make up.
The products they used are all from natural sources and Made in France – Centella Asiatica, a magical herb from India which promotes metabolism and repair skin, both for the face and the body.
Not that I am old, but I was giving the Hazelnut Firming and Hydrating Mask for anti-aging purposes, which smelled really good!
Each facial includes: Light exfoliation and extraction, Cream mask, Acupressure Massage with Chromotherapy Micro Mist Steamer.
