Subacval boost, the secret to a fit body - We are finally enjoying sunny and warm weather! But after the long days of winter, our bodies are feeling very tired. That's why we look for new sources of invigoration, and after a hard day, what could be better than a nice, relaxing shower? Because a shower is always handy! Moreover, how about a shower under the eyes? The resulting energizing sensation is truly regenerating. In short, an instant energizing and revitalizing effect.
Where can you get this treatment? At Afrodita Resort&Spa in Băile Herculane, you can opt for a unique form of hydrotherapy: subacval douche. A water-based treatment. Because, isn't it true, water is used in all its forms to help us get in shape: jets, steam, baths, ice, compresses, Vichy showers, sub-acval showers, Kneipp or emotional showers.
The sub-acval shower is a form of hydromassage that follows a certain pattern. This form of shower is done in a hot tub. Using an underwater hose, a powerful jet of hot water is pumped from a distance of 10-15 cm and at a certain angle (35°C to the skin), directed by the therapist onto the main muscle groups, for 5-15 minutes. Specifically, the action starts from the legs. The secret of the subacval shower is the pressure of the water jet. This can vary from 1 to 6, depending on the resistance of the treated area.
"The subacval shower has a restorative and muscle-relaxing effect. It also stimulates blood circulation and strengthens the body. This relaxes muscles, connective tissues and ligaments. Warm water dilates the blood vessels and activates the blood supply from the organs to the muscles and skin, helping blood circulation. Cold water then speeds up the blood supply to the organs, stimulating the release of toxins from the lymphatic system and tones the tissues.", explains Dr. Otlia Oprișan, balneologist at the Aphrodita Resort&Spa in Băile Herculane.
The advantage of the subacval shower? The alternating jets of water reduce muscle tension and soreness, so you can feel fit. A more awake immune system. The heat and cold creates a kind of internal massage that stimulates the vessels and, in this way, is able to provide a real feeling of widespread well-being. Besides, the main quality of water is to strengthen the body and cleanse it of impurities and toxins. Sub-abdominal showering then improves digestion, stimulates blood circulation and reduces pain.
This hydrotherapy technique, which allows deep toning, is recommended for post-operative conditions, neurological disorders, muscle and joint disorders, improving blood circulation.
