Though, your hair isn’t the only thing that occasionally needs a helping hand to function at its best.

You’ll also be provided with snacks and refreshments to nibble on while you’re treated like the Maharaja and waited on (literally) hand and foot. With a stylish new do, nails clipped, buffed and moisturised to the shine usually seen on freshly waxed sports-cars, the one-hour full-body massage will provide the K.O in your skirmish with stress.

Carrying groceries, excess gift-wrapping or battling your way throw crowds in the mall can all turn your muscles into things that feel more like lead.

The perfect mix of smooth strokes and a bit of pressure will have any strains that once seemed determined to cling to your muscles running faster than a ladder in cheap tights.

Whichever treatment you go for, an afternoon in the more-than-capable hands of EXO’s therapists is enough to have you wishing you never had to leave.
