Hydrotherapy massage
This massage uses dry brush and hot towels. Dry brushing is the use of a dry natural fibre brush to brush the whole body. It is a friction-like treatment done with brisk, circular, long movements towards the heart. Dry brushing regenerates, tones and softens skin by exfoliating and removing surface dead skin cells. It improves overall circulation and reflexively simulates the immune system. After dry brushing, hot towels are used to massage the whole body. The hot towel massage simulates the thermoregulation system, balances the autonomic nervous system, improves circulation, aids in strengthening the immune system and helps to remove exfoliated skin tissue from the body after dry brushing.
