Ona Spa
--
Being a massage fanatic, my good friends recommended I try the “Ona Pada” massage at the Ona Spa in West Hollywood. To be frank, I’ve tried it all and no massage can truly impress me.
I obviously had no idea what I was in for. The Ona Pada massage was the cure to all my problems. Developed by Daniel Krasofski, Ona’s Ayurveda therapist who created this treatment especially for Ona before the spa even opened.
During this particular massage, the therapist is standing on the table most of the time as opposed to standing over the client. Therefore, there are bars built on the ceiling that the therapist can hold on to that stretch along the length of the bed. This bar also helps them adjust the pressure of the massage and keep their balance.
The Ona Pada incorporates Eastern methods including Ayurvedic principles and Thai Massage. Feet are used so it’s a different tool. Hands/fingers and elbows can be “pokey,” but with feet since it’s a broader tool/surface can get very deep without the same discomfort experienced in traditional deep tissue massages.
The Ona Pada has a dramatic affect on circulatory system and can be profoundly relaxing. Men seem to like it a lot because it’s a deeper tissue experience than the typical deep tissue massage using hands and elbows.
The Ona Pada makes the perfect gift for the Holidays. To learn more about other features at the Ona Spa log on to Onaspa.com.
