Thermal Pool Therapy & Massage - 2.5 hours

How does it work?

This therapy involves immersing the body for short periods of time in thermal pools of different temperatures, ranging from warm to cold. The cycle starts with a warm pool at 41°C, followed by another at 24°C, then 37°C and finally a pool at 31°C. 

 

Long Cycle: First enter the warm pool at 41°C for a period of 10 minutes max, then move to the cooler pool at 24° for another 10 minutes. Continue to the pool of 37° for 10 minutes and finish the cycle with the pool at 31° for a final 10 minutes. Immediately after finishing the thermal circuit, we recommend a relaxing massage as the body’s muscles are extremely relaxed and the massage benefits will be amplified. (Total duration: 60 minutes)

 

The benefits:

The temperature changes help improve circulation because the body does what is known as vascular gymnastics: heat dilates blood vessels and the cold water contracts them; relaxing all the muscles of the body and eliminating stress.

This therapy is ideal for people who suffer from pain in the sciatic nerve, muscle pain, tendonitis, arthritis, insomnia, and physical rehabilitation after an accident or operation.
