Thermal services

The Thermes de Cilaos use for all hydrotherapy treatments, the recognized therapeutic properties of its two sources of natural mineral water, renowned for the quality of its active minerals.

The baths

The thermal bath is administered at 37°C in tubs in individual cabins. The thermal baths offer you different kinds of baths lasting 10 to 20 minutes depending on medical advice.
• Bath with aerobath: whirlpool bath with underwater air intake which provides a real micro-massage and releases thermal gases. It potentiates by bubbling effect the qualities of mineral water (disinfiltration, sedation of pain and relaxation of the muscles).
• Bath with hydromassage: ensures a body massage by underwater shower on the painful parts, light massage ensuring a resumption of the venous circulation. These baths taken in various forms have relaxing effects. They are sedative, analgesic and ensure the diffusion of the ionic elements contained in the mineral water through the skin. Their use leads to a recovery of the articular amplitude with sedation of the pain and softening of the ligaments.

Showers

• Jet shower: this is a jet of pressurized thermal water with an adjustable flow rate which promotes a percussion and vibration effect on the muscle masses.
It is administered by care staff, remotely, on the parts of the body following the prescription of the spa doctor. Depending on the pressure, it has a stimulating or relaxing action.
Duration 3-5 minutes
Stand up at the back of the cabin and follow the instructions of the showerhead. The jet shower is a powerful stimulant accompanied by a circulatory tonic effect.

• Column showers: made up of 3 vertical columns each equipped with 4 thermal water inlet nozzles, they diffuse thermal water over the entire surface of the spa client’s body.
Duration 3-5 minutes
They allow, depending on the pressure used, to administer a shower of reaction or a sedative shower.

• Local hepatic showers: lying on your back, a horizontal shower with a broad jet and low pressure is administered by a hydrotherapist.
It has an antispasmodic effect, an essential complement to your liver treatment.
Bathing suit mandatory for all showers.

Thermal mud poultices

The clay contained in a bag is first immersed in thermal water at 50° for several hours. The poultices then take care of the elements contained in this water. They are then applied at 45° by the thermal agent on the parts of the body indicated on the prescription for 10 minutes. The heat causes vasoconstriction then vasodilation causing a deep decongestant action and significant sweating which detoxifies the body. The use of mud allows a sedative action on painful joints.

Post-treatment afternoons

Workshops are available in the afternoons after the cures, with the support of a coach:
