Seawater hydrotherapy is a practice dating back to Antiquity. The Egyptians already bathed in the waters of the Nile enriched with sea salt, while the Greeks and Romans built monumental thermal baths where water was central to social and medical life. Hippocrates, in the 5th century BC, prescribed seawater baths to treat joint pain and skin conditions. In France, it was in the 18th century that English physician Richard Russell published his treatise on the therapeutic virtues of seawater, laying the foundations for modern marine balneotherapy. French thalassotherapy then codified these practices: hydromassage baths in seawater heated to 33-35°C, invigorating jet showers, soothing marine rain and flotation pools, creating a hydrotherapeutic arsenal unique in the world.
