Thalassotherapy for seniors

Thalassotherapy for seniors

Living daily with joint problems and chronic fatigue is not easy. This is why I regularly go to a thalassotherapy centre. There's nothing like relaxing and recharging your batteries.

Treat yourself!

It was my grandchildren who introduced me to thalassotherapy two years ago. For my birthday, they offered me a one-week all-expenses-paid stay in Roscoff. I really enjoyed this wellness getaway, because for the first time since suffering from osteoarthritis, I regained some mobility in my elbows and ankles. In addition, the joint pains have also slightly faded. As a result, I have more flexibility in my gestures and in my movements.

Are you also starting to suffer from joint problems? You will find very interesting information on the physiology of aging on Docteurclic.com. Do not hesitate to go there if you want to satisfy your curiosity. But I will come back to the benefits of thalasso cures for the elderly, because my forays into these establishments have also brought me a lot of well-being, both physical and psychological. No more insomnia problems, I sleep better and I am less stressed. I really can only recommend.

During your stay, you evolve in a calm and quiet place where you can rest throughout the day. In addition, everyone is very caring with your person. The staff of the establishment where I was staying was very attentive to the least of my desires and desires. I can't remember the last time I was pampered so much!

Spa addresses for seniors

But doing thalassotherapy also allowed me to get out of my loneliness a little. I particularly appreciate the very friendly and fun aspect of collective care where you are in the presence of other seniors. The proof, I made new friends during my gentle aquagym sessions. And for my greatest happiness, one of them lives near my home. Since then we have stayed in touch and are planning a thalassotherapy stay soon.

Among the thalassotherapy center addresses that have impressed me the most, I would mention the center of Roscoff in Brittany. With a magnificent view of the island of Batz, the establishment borders a magnificent private beach of nearly ten kilometers. Moreover, if I remember correctly, it is the very first establishment of this kind in France, since its opening dates from the nineteenth century. Concerning their special senior cure, the treatments are very diversified and are offered à la carte.

You are therefore spoiled for choice between hydromassage and micro-bubble baths, relaxing massages, or muscle strengthening. I advise you to try their algotherapy panel such as the thermo-active hydrosensory seaweed wrap, for example. Indeed, if the Roscoff peninsula is famous, it is above all for the therapeutic and curative virtues of its seaweed. Otherwise, I also fell in love with the thalassotherapy center in Fréjus in the Var, especially for their fitness area. I spent a lot of my time in their indoor heated saltwater pool.
