Body Care
At The Hydro we know that a healthy body is achieved through the practice of balance – mindful of the vital relationship between stress management, good nutrition and regular exercise.
Beyond the relaxing and revitalising treatments and therapies, we also encourage you to enjoy and maintain the nutrition-rich diet that we recommend, along with the various physical activities we promote to stimulate your entire system and general well-being.
Here are a number of the treatments and activities you can enjoy:
Exfoliation
Exfoliation can help you to achieve smooth, glowing skin and is an excellent precursor to other body treatments and massage.
Choose the ideal exfoliation therapy and pamper yourself.
TheraVine™ Back Cleanse
This specialised cleanse focuses on the health and appearance of your back. Recommended for guests with congested pores or dehydration, the treatment begins with steaming to open your pores and lift impurities, followed by a deep cleanse and exfoliation. A soothing back massage ends the treatment, leaving your skin feeling soft, toned, and moisturised.
Body Glow Exfoliation
This full-body skin treatment rejuvenates and brings back the glow to tired, dull or sallow skin. Dead skin cells are sloughed off your entire body through a vigorous application of a ‘rub’ consisting of refined marine salts, grape seeds and lemon-infused honey, lime and sweet orange essences. The process improves blood and lymph circulation and encourages the regeneration of new skin cells. After a refreshing shower, a luxurious anti-ageing body rejuvenating cream is applied leaving your skin feeling soft, silky, and well hydrated.
Movement Therapy
Keeping your body mobile is essential for improving flexibility, strength and overall well-being.
At The Hydro we offer regular movement therapies like stretching, yoga, aqua aerobics and personal training.
These classes focus on loosening muscles to prevent injuries, breathing techniques, mindfulness for relaxation, mental clarity and offer numerous benefits for both body and mind.
Stretching One On One
Stretching is essential to increase flexibility and relieve stress and tension through low-impact, high-effect training. Our fitness consultants offer flexibility workouts that specify various safe movements. Stiffness is alleviated, physical performance is improved and the risk of new injuries is diminished.
Yoga One On One
Embodied Mindfulness (awareness) is for those who want to reach their full physical, mental and spiritual potential. Yoga promotes overall wellness using postures, breathing exercises and meditation. Introductory classes are offered in our list of activities.
Aqua One-on-One
This treatment is ideal for gentle, effective stretching and strengthening, pain alleviation in your joints and muscles. In our heated indoor pool, you are guided through stretches and movements that utilise the natural resistance of water to build stamina or to relieve symptoms. This is an extensive, non-weight bearing exercise that encourages optimal muscle health.
Personal Training
You can choose to do a full work-out or a shorter series of targeted exercises in our well-equipped gym. A fitness specialist is available to assist you when booked.
Specialised Therapies
To supplement our Health and Wellnes and spa programmes, we offer a variety of alternative, specialised therapies to cater to your unique needs.
These specialised therapies aim to enhance your overall well-being and provide a holistic approach to self-care.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherpy is a holistic, therapeutic massage that uses light-pressure touch in combination with essential oils, such as grape-seed oil.. The fragrances soothe you and have a long-lasting therapeutic effect. Your lymphatics are stimulated, promoting the safe removal of toxins from your system.
Marine Algae Bath
A Thalgo Marine Algae Bath with its patented Micronised Marine Algae, is as relaxing as it is detoxing. It will boost your blood and lymphatic circulation, strengthen your muscle tone and promote the elimination of toxins. In addition, fluid retention is diminished as well as aches and pains, particularly those associated with sports injuries. Initially, the Plasmalg Gel is applied to your whole body to neutralise the skin’s PH balance, enabling efficient absorption of the pure Marine Algae. This is followed by a relaxing, 20-minute immersion in a bath infused with Micronised Marine Algae. Finally, a marine body lotion will be applied to your skin, leaving it feeling soft and moisturised.
LPG Endermologie
LPG Endermologie increases blood and oxygen to the cellulite-afflicted areas of your body, after which the fluids eliminated from those cells are flushed out via urination. During the treatment, your body is sheathed in a body stocking and a mechanical roller is applied to your skin, creating a feeling similar to a deep tissue massage. A suction device is also applied to the cellulite-affected areas. This treatment is generally painless and may even be soothing.
