Mandarin Oriental Invites Guests To Celebrate Global Wellness Day with a Focus on Intelligent Movement
Mandarin Oriental Washington D.C. Treatment Room
This year the spas at Mandarin Oriental will celebrate Global Wellness Day by inviting guests to join them for their “Intelligent Movement” program. This new wellness initiative bridges the gap between the hotel group’s spas and fitness centers.
Mandarin Oriental spas around the world will host a variety of complimentary Intelligent Movement-themed activities on June 11. Intelligent Movement looks to support guests whose posture and movement is compromised by a tech-driven lifestyle. This lifestyle can lead to issues including head-forward posture, internally rotated shoulders, anterior pelvic tilt, and tight hamstrings.
As part of the Intelligent Movement Initiative, Mandarin Oriental has partnered with Hyperice, a wellness technology company that provides therapeutic massage tools used by massage therapists and fitness trainers.
“Over the past few years and with the influx of technology we see many of our guests coming into our spas and fitness centers with the same general issues of posture and lack of mobility,” said Andrea Lomas-Gong, who oversees global spa and wellness operations. “Most of our guests have a head forward posture from looking down at screens, internally rotated shoulders from too much keyboard use, tight hips and lower back pain from too much sitting. Intelligent Movement addresses these issues in a comprehensive yet personalized approach.”
