How Ian Batherson soothes his tired muscles

MANILA, Philippines - Best known for being one of the finalists in the fifth season of StarStruck and a contestant in the third season of Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown, Ian has since had his hands full with various acting and modeling commitments, making his days jampacked with commitments left and right.

Thus, Ian makes sure that he finds the time to unwind and de-stress after a long day at work. Aside from engaging in his favorite hobbies, the 24-year-old actor likes to pamper himself with weekly massages like BlueWater Day Spa’s Chakra Massage, which he discovered after doing a modeling gig for the day spa. “It was a different experience as the therapist who did the Chakra massage on me was very spiritual the way she talked while I was having the massage. It felt really good, kinda very spiritual, and you know, I understood what she was talking about, how it changes your aura. The texture of the stones on your body…it’s just so soothing, and it’s like you’re getting a two-in-one massage — like a body massage and something that soothes your spirit as well.”

To get the most out of the experience, Ian likes to go to BlueWater Day Spa as often as he can. As he works out a lot, like five times a week, he also made it a weekly habit to go to the spa even before becoming one of its endorsers. “Even when I would just have to pay for, I would go. Lalo na yung foot massage in the theater. The Athlete’s Massage is great, too.”

As for becoming a BlueWater Day Spa endorser, Ian is extremely thankful for the opportunity to represent the establishment, which bloomed after a hosting and modeling gig that he did for BlueWater Day Spa. “I feel like with each year coming up, umaangat ako. Like I’m progressing, and what I love about it, it’s slowly but surely. That’s how I became connected with BlueWater Day Spa.”

“I was really happy when they awarded me the endorsement but they said, ‘You have to have six-pack abs,’ so that kinda got me nervous, I was like, ‘Oh my God, time to work out, let’s go to the gym.’ This eventually became an everyday habit along with a conscious effort to diet, hindi naman strenuous but I was more watchful of what I ate, I avoided fast food, and it was just a great experience. I’m glad I worked hard to achieve this body, it really paid off.”
