WELCOME

We each come to a crossroad in our lives when we realize that the choices we make today have a profound impact on tomorrow.  Perhaps no decision holds more gravity than how we choose to treat our body, inside and out.

The Springs Medical Spa and Integrated Physical Therapy have developed a comprehensive program to help you take ownership of your wellness and future. 
The Life Wellness Team combines the expertise of a medical physician, surgeon, psychologist, registered nurse, physical therapist/personal trainer, nutrition specialist, and an aesthetician to develop a program designed to achieve your wellness, fitness, and/or weight loss goals.

PHILOSOPHY
Safe and effective realization of personal goals using a multifaceted approach to life wellness in a supportive and encouraging environment.

COMMITMENT
Success depends on your commitment to your program - hard work and dedication that result in new healthy life long habits.  Those who choose to make time for wellness now can avoid making time for mental and physical illness later.
This team is dedicated to your wellness and asks that you be just as committed.  You will receive a prescription for Life Wellness, education for your realization of Life Wellness, a safe and encouraging environment in which to achieve Life Wellness and honest feedback on your journey in Life Wellness.  Your dedication and commitment is mandatory as there is no quick fix and this is not a “diet” - each component is essential in adopting Life Wellness.

AESTHETIC WELLNESS

CELLULITE REDUCTION
Dimpled or uneven skin is a nagging problem even for those who work hard to keep fit.  With Acoustic Wave Therapy, you can achieve smoother skin in areas where dimples commonly form—the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and arms.

COLLAGEN REMODELING
The Aramis laser is designed to heat the dermis while protecting the epidermis, thus building and stimulating the natural formation of new collagen.  The technique is painless and the resulting thickening of the dermis enhances skin radiance and elasticity.
