Thalassotherapy star treatments

To help you understand your therapy programme, discover here the words that do you so much good and are used to describe the basic thalassotherapy treatments.

Hydro-Massage Bath
Hydromassage of the whole body performed using multiple jets in a bath-tub. Sea plants and essential oils with relaxing or circulatory properties may also be added. Some tubs are fitted with a chromotherapy system (alternating colours) which accentuates the relaxing effects according to the properties of each colour.
• Ideal to replenish the body, loosen the muscles and relax.

Affusion Shower
In a lying position, your body receives a fine shower of sea-water combined with a gentle sweeping action. This treatment promotes physical and mental relaxation because it works on the skin’s nerve ends and replenishes through the absorption of trace elements.
• Ideal for soothing action in cases of nervousness, overwork or extreme fatigue.

Jet Shower
The hydro-therapist massages each part of the body with a jet of sea-water. Depending on the effects you are looking for, the temperature of the water and the power and tempo of the jet will vary.
• Ideal to tone, sculpt, improve the blood flow and relax.

Underwater Shower
In a bath-tub filled with sea-water, the hydro-therapist massages the whole body with a jet, dwelling on each area. This is a sculpture massage that relaxes, shapes and drains.
• Ideal for stiff muscles and joints, heavy legs and cellulite.

Sea-Plant Wrap
After the application of a warm seaweed cream, you are wrapped and covered in a blanket, like in a cocoon, to facilitate perspiration and the absorption of mineral salts and trace elements.
• Laminarian seaweed is a fabulous way to replenish the organism and to relieve pain and aching joints.

Hydrojet
Lying on a water mattress, the body is massaged by powerful moving jets which move up from the feet to the head.
• Ideal to relax the muscles deep-down, to get rid of stress and combat fatigue.

Underwater Jet
This in-pool therapy combines simple movements with massages in front of a jet. This helps to work each muscle deep-down and provides instant overall relaxation.
• Ideal to drain, shape the figure and help recover greater mobility of the joints and muscles.

Affusion Sculpture
A multi-sensorial experience: a relaxing manual massage with a balm of essential oils under a fine shower of tiny drops of sea-water that reproduce the effects of sea spray.
• Ideal to release tightened muscles, to soften the skin and to relax.

Pressure Therapy
Inflatable boots help drain the system by very light compressions from the feet to the thighs. The Gel Jambes Toniques from our Marine Cosmetics Line adds fresh coolness and boosts this treatment’s effectiveness.
• A spectacular and immediate effect on heavy legs. Ideal to drain and eliminate toxins.
