Salt, minerals and trace elements, the beneficial substances for our body that await you at Bahía del Duque spa
Of Greek origin, the word “thalassa” means sea and, thus, thalassotherapy is the therapeutic use of bathing with seawater. Indeed, the best of the ocean awaits you at the outdoor thalassotherapy circuit at Bahía Wellness Retreat spa.
Since ancient China, seawater has been used for curative and medical purposes thanks to its great properties. Thalassotherapy has been carried out for thousands of years and has managed to endure over time thanks to its great benefits.This practice helps to treat chronic processes or problems with the locomotor system. Also, it reduces the symptoms of respiratory, neurological, and skin conditions.
If you want to get first-hand experience of a practice with so many benefits, then Bahía del Duque spa is the perfect setting to do so.
Undoubtedly, as Álex Rodríguez, the Spa Manager of Bahía Wellness Retreat, states, “the therapeutic use of seawater helps to increase vitality, relieve stress and alleviate the symptoms of insomnia or depression, as our body, and our mind are connected”.
Thalassotherapy can be accompanied by different techniques. As Álex Rodríguez explains, “combined with hydromassage, it manages to relax the muscles and helps to improve blood circulation with the application of pressurised water jets”.
“At the Bahía Wellness Retreat spa, we work with different techniques in the water to harness its benefits. They include aquatic physiotherapy, postural conditioning, aquatic rehabilitation and aquatic psychomotor development therapy. They are all taught by physiotherapists who are experienced in the field”, notes Álex Rodríguez.
