Rolling out of the thermal experience.

You can take all the time you need at Bistro Le Sous-Bois, either for reading a book by the fire or even sipping a glass of wine and having a bite to eat.

What is thermotherapy?
Thermotherapy consists of a cyclic treatment which alternates between heat, cold, and rest. Long practiced in Nordic countries, the body and spirit has many benefits from thermotherapy.
10-15 minutes
Step 1 : Heat
Your system stocks up on heat and dilates the pores of your skin allowing toxins to be eliminated. Your body’s heart rate and blood circulation increase in preparation for the next step of the thermal cycle.
10-20 secondes
Step 2 : Cold
This step is the most important! It consists of reclosing your pores and creating an invigorating effect on the body. It is recommended to completely immerse yourself in cold water (oh yes, the head too, especially the head!) and focus on your breathing in order to stay relaxed. This vital step decreases your body temperature, strengthens your immune system, and improves blood circulation. At this step, the body produces adrenaline.
Step 3 : Rest
This essential step allows the body to calm down and regulate the nervous system. This allows for relaxing physical tension, encouraging relaxation and meditation. You’ll slowly feel the adrenaline leave your body to make way for endorphins. Pure delight!
Repeat the whole experience!

Are there contraindications?
