Why I Chose Thalassotherapy
I went to Gurney's Inn, Resort & Spa on Long Island, NY and their spa offers thalassotherapy. I decided to try it just to relax.
About My Thalassotherapy Treatment
I was asked to go into a bathtub filled with warm, filtered sea water... right from the Atlantic Ocean. Gurney's is located directly on a beach. The water was soothing and the therapist explained that all the nutritive qualities of sea water are healing and relaxing.
She took something that looked like a hose and "massaged" my arms, shoulders, etc., with the warm sea water that came out in a gentle stream.
I received a massage afterwards.
I was so relaxed and stress-free afterwards that I slept for nearly two hours!
Advice
- If you prefer a massage therapist who is the same gender as yourself, always make sure to mention this when you make your reservation.
- I would suggest that you stay at the place where you're getting the thalassotherapy because you'll be too relaxed/tired to drive afterwards.
