UNDERWATER HYDROMASSAGE OR CHARCOT SHOWER?
What is the right therapy for me?
Both therapies fall under the umbrella of hydrotherapy, which uses pressurized water to relax and stimulate the body. Nevertheless, they differ significantly in terms of intensity and method of application.
Underwater hydro-massage is performed in a special tub where you are surrounded by warm water while the therapist massages your body with a directed water jet. It is a gentle, relaxing form of massage that allows for deep muscle relaxation without an uncomfortable feeling of pressure.
The Charcot shower is a more intense form of hydrotherapy, where the body is exposed to powerful jets of pressurized water. The therapy is performed while standing, and the therapist uses directed jets to stimulate specific parts of the body. Due to its intensity, it has a more dynamic and stimulating effect.
Which procedure is right for me?
The choice depends on how you feel and the desired effect:
- if you want relaxation and gentle pampering → underwater hydro-massage
- if you want stronger stimulation and invigoration → Charcot shower
The choice of procedure also depends on contraindications. Due to its strong effect, the Charcot shower is contraindicated for people with dystrophy and underweight - they are only allowed underwater Tangetor hydromassage. If you are overweight, it is recommended to start the course with an underwater hydromassage and alternate with a Charcot shower.
Which procedure is more effective against cellulite?
Charcot’s shower will be very effective for cellulite of degree 1-2. In the case of 3-4 degrees of cellulite, which is accompanied by swelling and tissue fibrosis, it is recommended to start a course of underwater hydromassage, and then continue with the Charcot shower treatment.
How often do you need to attend procedures?
It is best to do a course of (at least) 10 treatments in a shorter period of time (say every third day), and then maintain the results by visiting once every 7-10 days.
