You might think of spas and massages when you feel tired like wet cotton, when your neck and back hurt from overuse of your computer or smartphone, or when your skin is irritated due to changing seasons. After a full body massage, you will feel better and your body will feel much lighter.

In typical spa places you have to choose your own program. Rarely is there a place that offers a professional spa program with individual physiology in mind. This is a place that understands a person's unique physical differences and offers a personalized spa program.

A spa made specifically according to Sasang's physiology, Yeo Yong Guk was founded on the ideology of the story of Yeo Yong Guk, which contains a saying that a woman takes care of her face like a king who runs a country. At Yeo Yong Guk Korea Spa, undivided attention is paid to the fact that everyone has their own physiology. Everyone's physical constitution is different, so how could they all be treated with the same massage methods and drugs? This spa facility explains that in order to achieve good results, individual massage methods and medicines must be applied to different physical types.

It is important to do an O-ring test to determine the condition of a person's body. In this test you form an O with your thumb and index finger. If something fits you, you will press both fingers together and if not, the fingers will naturally separate. It shows what material suits your body. Based on the test results, you will do a spa using traditional Korean medicinal ingredients.

In the spa program, not only cosmetic products change, but also types and massage tools. For example, if you have a lot of heat in your chest area, a massage from the liver down is most effective. This method is done to support circulation and fill in what is lacking. Another thing that is distinctive is that instead of lasers, they use thin sticks called "hwasa" as tools. There are three types of "hwasa" depending on the ingredients used, Paekjato, Cheongjato and Ongkito, which are said to have different effects. This tool has a pointed tip that is used to press and massage the points of blood openings on the body and face. The result feels very refreshing, as if the clotting particles of blood had been loosened.
