Nothing speaks to the epitome of luxury spa indulgence quite like the gentle cascade of water from a Vichy shower. But beyond its overt allure, this spa therapy is rich in history, boasts a treasure trove of health benefits, and offers a rejuvenating experience that spa enthusiasts worldwide have come to appreciate.
How does it work?
The Vichy shower system is a horizontal shower equipped with multiple high-pressure jets, typically seven or more, that line up above a treatment table. This specialized setup allows a therapist to administer a cascading water massage as the guest lays relaxed on the table below. Each of the showerheads can be individually adjusted for volume, temperature, and pressure, tailoring the hydrotherapy experience to the specific needs of the client. The system typically works with a mixer that blends hot and cold water precisely, maintaining the desired temperature throughout the session.
What is it used for?
Vichy showers use multiple showerheads to create a gentle, rain-like pattern of warm water. Some spas use Vichy showers as a complement to other treatments, while others use them as a stand-alone therapeutic treatment.
Vichy shower therapy can benefit many people, including:
- Athletes
- People with chronic pain
- Poor blood circulation
- Insomnia
- Stress disorder
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Sleep disorders
- Expecting mothers
