Annecy offers numerous wellness centers, each with its own specialty, to meet all needs. In addition to traditional spas and swimming pools, the city offers intimate spaces where wellness is personal and privileged. Among the options available, here are some relaxation methods:
A floating session is an invitation to pause your daily life, putting your mind in a quiet state close to meditation. Note that one hour of floating is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep.
Reflexology is a practice based on the theory that certain parts of the feet, hands, and sometimes ears correspond to other parts of the body. By stimulating these specific areas through massage, reflexology aims to improve health and well-being. The benefits of reflexology are multiple and affect both physical and mental levels. On a physical level, it is known to improve blood and lymph circulation, promote better sleep, help relieve stress and pain such as headaches, digestive disorders or even back and muscle pain.
From a psychological point of view, reflexology offers a moment of deep relaxation, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. It contributes to a general state of well-being, thus helping people better manage everyday stress. It offers everyone from children to the elderly a gentle and natural way to take care of their health.
Thai massage is an ancient healing method that combines gentleness and strength to revitalize both body and mind. This technique, which is practiced clothed and on the ground, involves stretching and pressing along the body’s energy lines. Its purpose is to improve circulation, increase flexibility and relieve muscular tension, thus contributing to a general state of well-being. This type of massage offers a unique moment of well-being, but it is recommended to consult a qualified professional to make sure it is right for you.
The sessions, which can vary in duration, are designed to release energetic blockages, promote deep relaxation and help combat stress and insomnia. Despite its many benefits, Thai massage is not suitable for everyone and has contraindications, especially for severe joint problems or phlebitis and pregnant women.
Aquabike combines the benefits of physical exercise with water, providing well-being and relaxation. At the physical level, this activity stimulates blood and lymph circulation, promotes the elimination of toxins and the reduction of cellulite, which contributes to the improvement of general health and body aesthetics. It targets several key areas of the body, including the abs, glutes and legs, providing a complete workout. Water resistance allows for effective, yet gentle muscle work, reducing the risk of injury and reducing post-exercise soreness. Water, which exerts significantly more pressure than land, makes aquabiking particularly effective: a 30-minute session is equivalent to an hour of tennis in terms of energy expenditure.
In terms of relaxation, exposure to hot water has a calming effect on the body and mind, thus contributing to reducing stress and anxiety. The action of the water covering the body during activity creates a sensation similar to a gentle massage, promoting muscular and mental relaxation. Aquagym, which offers a range of exercises in water, shares similar benefits.
