FAQ – All Our Thalasso Treatments: Thalassotherapy, Benefits of the Sea & Wellness Programs

A thalassotherapy treatment exclusively utilizes the benefits of the marine environment: heated seawater, seaweed, marine mud, iodine-rich air, and hydrotherapy techniques. Unlike a spa, which focuses primarily on well-being and relaxation, thalassotherapy also has a therapeutic objective: improving circulation, reducing stress, remineralizing, aiding muscle recovery, or relieving joint pain.

What is a thalassotherapy treatment and how does it differ from a spa treatment?

Thalassotherapy works on several levels:

• Stress and anxiety reduction

• Relief from muscle and joint tension

• Improved blood and lymphatic circulation

• Detoxification and natural drainage

• Mineral replenishment (iodine, magnesium, calcium)

• Improved sleep, energy and vitality

• Slimming of the silhouette thanks to active marine treatments

It is an approach that is preventive, curative and focused on well-being.
