Wellness technologies in thalassotherapy centres represent the meeting point of scientific innovation and marine tradition. Whole-body cryotherapy, developed in the 1970s by Prof. Toshima Yamaguchi in Japan, briefly exposes the body to extreme temperatures (-110 to -140°C) to trigger a cascade of beneficial physiological responses. Japanese Iyashi Dôme infratherapy uses far infrared for deep perspiration without cardiac effort. LPG technology, patented in France, has evolved beyond slimming to offer vitality-stress-sleep protocols acting on the autonomic nervous system. The Stendo, a French cardio-synchronised stimulation innovation, reactivates circulatory capacity by synchronising its pulsations with the patient's heartbeat. Dryfloat flotation beds simulate weightlessness without immersion. The i3 Dome combines infrared, plasma and light therapy. Each technology provides a targeted response that manual treatments alone cannot offer, creating a complete therapeutic arsenal in thalassotherapy combining tradition and innovation.
