The love language of: physical touch…

Rena Spa at the Midland, Manchester: Reflexology (from £80 for 50 minutes)

This holistic and gentle therapeutic point massage treats both the mind, body and soul. Known for unblocking unwanted channels of energy, Reflexology can supercharge immunity, reduce psychological symptoms (such as depression or anxiety) and enhance relaxation in the body. Working on a specific area of the body at one time, in this case the feet, this zone therapy breaks down any tension by applying direct pressure on specific points and detecting blockages. By allowing a free flow of physical, mental and spiritual energy once again, the body is able to maintain a healthier balance and heal itself. To revel in their relaxation a bit longer, post-treatment guests can head to the spa’s sleep pods and lay their head for a kip. Book at www.themidlandhotel.co.uk/spa
