The must-sees in Thalasso

The most common treatment in Thalassos, the hydromassage bath immerses the curist up to the shoulders in sea water heated to 37°C. For 15 to 20 minutes, underwater jets massage the body from the neck to the feet.

In the bubble bath, the jets create a gas and thousands of small bubbles. Each treatment relaxes the muscles and recharges the body with trace elements and mineral salts. Depending on the center chosen, the baths are enriched with essential oils, sea salt crystals or seaweed jelly.

Although their names are similar, these two treatments are totally different. The jet shower is a must in Thalasso: with a firming and stimulating action, it consists of a powerful projection of sea water activated by a hydrotherapist, with which he massages the curist from the front, from the back and from the side, following the direction of the blood circulation and the acupuncture meridians. The session lasts 10 minutes: fast and effective. Although it treats many pathologies (circulatory and muscular problems), the jet shower is particularly effective during slimming treatments. The jet targets the parts of the body where the fatty masses are located and shapes the silhouette by relocating the fat.

At its total opposite, thehydrojet is a dry massage, which takes place on a hot water mattress containing water jets that massage from head to toe. A sensation of floating on the rubber sheet for 20 minutes.

Thalassotherapy is not limited to seawater, elements characteristic of the marine environment such as seaweed and marine mud are also used in the treatments, particularly wraps (body completely covered) and applications (body partially covered). Seaweed is one of the great classics of the Thalassos and has an exceptional concentration of mineral salts, trace elements and vitamins (potassium, magnesium, iron...) that are transmitted as soon as they come into contact with the skin.

Made from marine sediments, marine mud is applied locally on the back and joints. Like seaweed, it has a high content of minerals and trace elements which is beneficial to relieve rheumatism and circulatory problems. They help to fight against rheumatism and relieve joint pain.

Exposed to air, pollution and sunlight, the skin is often left with imperfections. Thanks to its exfoliating action, exfoliation optimizes the penetration of the active ingredients of all skin care products, which is why it is interesting to do one before a massage. To awaken its radiance and get rid of the dead cells that prevent it from breathing, the Thalassos offer scrubs with benefits and virtues from elsewhere in their range of treatments. Sweet and sour with coconut and tiare flower, with iced mint or with spices and cinnamon, but also a peeling with grains of Dead Sea salts wrapped in fruit oils, we let ourselves be carried away by a multitude of scents to find a soft and remineralized skin.

Massages are the stars of thalassotherapy centers and are part of the traditional treatments. Depending on the desires and needs of each individual, they can be relaxing, stimulating or draining. The relaxation massage is a must; thanks to the winning combination of gliding and kneading, it provides physical and psychological relaxation.

Also very popular is the affusion massage, performed under a fine shower of warm sea water. It combines the benefits of water and massage for a double relaxation effect; the fine droplets sprayed on the body are absorbed by the skin and recharge the body in mineral salts and trace elements.

Another area that is palpated is the face, which also gets a boost. Through relaxing maneuvers, facial massages have a relaxing, draining and anti-aging preventive action. A few dozen minutes later, the skin is luminous and deeply moisturized.
