Thalassotherapy is a natural medicine since its soothing effect combined with the staff of the spa who takes care of you makes it possible to feel deep relaxation. This quiet atmosphere in spas helps some people replacing some drugs (soporific, analgesic or anti-inflammatory medicine) with the benefits of sea and water treatments.
Medical examination is compulsory, except for very short stays in order to better associate thalassoterapy care with the needs and expectations of the clients.
Far from the sea baths of the late century, nowadays thalassotherapy is nearly a tourist stay, almost like holidays on the seaside. Indeed, thalassotherapy centres and spas are located in regions you can discover during your stay. This is called health or wellness tourism. This is exactly what brings you a cure of thalassotherapy: wellness, relaxation and holidays.
Spas and Thalassotherapy centres recently widened their supply by offering new cures adapted to today’s way of life. Back pains, cellulite, slimness, anti-stress, are the treatments that recent spas propose in Brittany, Normandy, Provence, Corsica, or outside French borders.
If thalassotherapy is a French and British heritage, it tends to spread to other regions of the world. Spas open in Tunisia, Italy and for example Sardinia, in Spain, Morocco, but also in Thailand, Indonesia, Mauritius Island and the Seychelles.
Many towns on the seaside have their own thalassotherapy centre for your pleasure: you just have to choose a destination for your spa holiday!
