Espace bien-être – Gulf Stream

In addition to its aquatic and fitness classes and cardio-musculation room, Gulf Stream offers a range of relaxing activities: cellu M6 (endermologie), Iyashi Dôme sauna, foot reflexology, hydro-massage bed, back massage, Amma massage...

CELLU M6 - ENDERMOLOGIE :
Suitable for all ages, Cellu M6 is particularly useful for combating cellulite and circulatory problems. The session is carried out by Delphine, who is specially trained in the use of this machine. Equipped with a treatment head that combines a roller and a motorised valve with sequential suction of the skin, she reproduces the palpating-rolling action tenfold.

The length of the sessions varies according to the type of package (classic or smart) you choose. The frequency and quantity of Endermologie sessions depends on the condition of the skin and the customer's wishes. In general, courses of at least 10 sessions are recommended. The more established the cellulite, the greater the effort required to treat it! On the other hand, the session is even more effective if it is accompanied by a healthy lifestyle, with some physical exercise and a balanced diet.


IYASHI DOME SAUNA :
In today's urban life, with its stress, pollution and junk food, and our need to feel better, with a high level of energy, a youthful figure and a radiant face, the Iyashi Dome is a concrete, safe and pleasant answer. It offers a range of treatments for women and men to promote overall well-being, detox, slimming and anti-ageing, all in 30-minute sessions.


FOOT REFLEXOLOGY :
Foot reflexology is a gentle, natural medicine that rebalances and improves the body's well-being by stimulating reflex zones in the feet, providing real relaxation for body and mind. The foot is a miniature representation of the human body, with each area of the foot corresponding to an organ or part of the human body. Reflexology relieves the body through the feet.

Stress is known to be the cause of various physical and mental dysfunctions. Despite the benefits of reflexology, it's important to remember that this discipline, like all forms of alternative medicine, is no substitute for medical treatment or advice. For added relaxation, you can precede your session with a visit to our sauna, the Iyashi Dôme, ideal for detoxing!


HYDROMASSAGE BED :
The massage offered during your first session is global relaxation: a programme to determine the power and width of the massage for maximum comfort. The programme is very simple... Close your eyes and you're in for half an hour of pure bliss! Relaxation for the whole body. The jets massage you from the middle of your head to your ankles.

For your well-being, please bring a towel and, if you're a bit chilly, a blanket to cover you up.


BACK MASSAGE :
The back is one of the areas of the body most prone to tension. There are many powerful muscles in this area, which can be relieved by massaging them.

The back massage is performed specifically on this area, but you'll be pleasantly surprised to also have your neck, arms and hands massaged. It alternates pressure, effleurage and stretching in this area.

The virtues of back modelling are mainly aesthetic, not therapeutic, so if you suffer from chronic back pain, you will need to have a massage performed by a physiotherapist.

All in all, you'll enjoy a moment of deep relaxation and well-being!


AMMA MASSAGE :
Amma massage (or seated massage) is a method of relaxation. This method is derived from Shiatsu, itself derived from ancestral Chinese massages. It used to be practised at the beginning and end of traditional Chinese massage sessions.

You are seated on an ergonomic chair. The massage is performed over the clothes, on the nape of the neck, the shoulders, the back, the arms, the hands and the skull. The principle is very simple: use a succession of pressures on the muscles to relax you.

In a minimum of time, you're relaxed and re-energised, so the benefits of this massage need no further demonstration! This method is being developed more and more every day to combat stress.

STENDO PULSOTHERAPY :
Stendo® Pulsotherapy is a unique, patented natural treatment technique. It uses a unique mechanical action to stimulate the endothelial cells (the cells in our blood vessels). In our bodies, these cells are involved in numerous mechanisms, such as venous tone, tissue remodelling and the body's defence mechanisms (state of the immune system, ability to eliminate toxins).

Stendo® Pulsotherapy is based on the principle of massage using cardio-synchronised pulsating waves. The stimulation is totally personalised, as it is adapted in real time to your heart rate. It's like circulatory gymnastics, providing deep, long-lasting stimulation. The effect is general, i.e. it spreads throughout the body.
