Love your gut
Thalassotherapy centres also want to care for your second brain – the gut. Why not explore the innovative approaches that centres are employing to help the gut relax?

Floating in the saltwater pool, you’ll learn how to breathe in time with the waves through diaphragmatic breathing exercises, whilst simultaneously attaining a higher level of corporal consciousness.
Gut-focused yoga exercises will involve movements, poses and specific breathing techniques designed to gradually improve gut health in a way that will have a positive impact upon the entire body.
Also on offer is a special body massage technique derived from traditional Thai massage. An ambiance is created that is conducive to the technique, involving the right light and sound levels and even the right aromas. This technique will bring you a degree of relaxation that will free your body and mind thanks to deep breathing.
When you’re on your romantic thalassotherapy break, don’t forget to try out Chi Nei Tsang massage.

A powerful treatment for the promotion of general well-being, Chi Nei Tsang massage will have a definite impact upon your body and state of mind.
