Sometimes it’s difficult to know you’re stressed until your body rebels and you land in a doctor’s office with any number of ailments as if it’s saying, “I’ve been trying to tell you to slow down and relax!” Spas are often a last ditch destination to miraculously cure an out of whack system. Why not take that trendy self care seriously before you’re forced to?
Knot Springs calls itself “Portland’s Social Club for Wellness Lovers.” That means, yes, it’s a spa, but it’s also a co-ed space where you can keep to yourself, or make friends, while you bask in sauna/steam rooms and soak in a series of pools they call “The Springs.” Spa treatments? Of course. They’ve got all the favorites. Knot Springs is especially known for their foot massages.
You can book The Springs as needed, or become a monthly member. Now THAT’S self care. Know someone who can’t afford to treat themselves? A gift certificate to Knot Springs is the ultimate surprise.
