Drop on In

Raindrop Therapy at The Sports Club/LA

When raindrops keep falling on your head, it’s hard to feel happy and balanced.

But with Raindrop Therapy at The Sports Club/LA’s Splash Spa, the sensation of rain will make you feel like there’s not a cloud in the sky.

The treatment stimulates nerves using massage and oils to bring balance to your system from scalp to toes. You’ll start with an intensive foot massage, which uses reflexology to warm up your spine. Then a soothing parade of essential oils is drizzled up and down your back as kinks and knots are worked out.

The therapist will also massage your face, working on sinus areas to prepare you for pollen season. Oils like mint, oregano, and basil are used in succession and smell like a springy vinaigrette.

So you can look back on April’s showers as salad days.

Available at The Sports Club/LA, 1170 22nd Street NW, between New Hampshire and M Streets (202-974-6600 or thesportsclubla.com).
