The healing power of Hydrotherapy

Fast forward to today’s Six Senses Hydrotherapy Walk at Six Senses Spa Courchevel, which provides an alternative yet therapeutic way to ease muscle aches and boost overall well-being, using the physical properties of water in several different forms.

The high temperatures in sauna help release endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which aid in relieving muscle soreness and pain. Sweating also opens the skin’s pores to flush the body’s impurities in a natural way. Follow with experience showers to cool down, exercise the blood vessels and to wash away the toxins.

The Kneipp Therapy Foot Bath consists of walking in cold and hot water in short intervals to widen the arteries, stimulate blood flow and metabolism, and boost the immune system. The idea behind this therapy is that the anatomical structure of one’s body can be reflected in the shape, structure and energy zones of the feet. The Kneipp therapy has been used

to treat a variety of health issues since the 1800’s when Kneipp’s entire system of healing rested on the power of hydrotherapy. A session in the steam room helps release muscle tension, aches and exhaustion. It also assists in opening up airways that improves breathing, throat irritations and alleviates congestion.

Six Senses Hydrotherapy Walk is complimentary to all residents of Six Senses Residences Courchevel. External guests have access to spa facilities as part of their treatment or a day-pass purchase.
