Welcome back to Wellness Wednesdays! This week we will continue with some more self-massage, targeting the lower back and hips. This area endures a lot of pressure and is our base.

As always, we will have a look at the anatomy of the area as well as learn how to give it some care.
Welcome back wellness readers! We are excitedly preparing to reopen the KurSpa and Sparkling Hill Resort doors next week, so this will be the last weekly installment of our DIY Spa blog series. Don’t worry, this has been so enjoyable and the feedback so lovely, that we will continue them on a monthly basis! As promised last week, DIY Massage – Part III is all about our extremities, the arms and legs. The movers and shakers of our body.

A STORY FROM ONE OF OUR DISTINGUISHED GUESTS I thought I would take the time to share my personal experience as a user of cryotherapy treatments for almost 8 years. Diagnosed with chronic rheumatoid arthritis over 20 years ago, doctors had treated my condition with various NSAIDs and…
There must be at least 100 reasons to visit Kelowna and Vernon in the Okanagan Valley – the champagne powder ski resorts, the lakes, the wines to name a few. In my case I’ve added the 101st reason – Sparkling Hill Resort. After 108 days skiing I was in sore need of some bodily restoration. Now…
