Thermal spa treatment

Thermal spa treatments are provided at locales with a reputation for the quality of their water. The specific composition of the water confers upon it therapeutic qualities that are recognized by the French Medical Academy. Prescribed by a doctor and reimbursed through health insurance, thermal spa treatments last approximately 3 weeks. They also serve to create a special place where patients can receive therapeutic education and learn to become more independent in managing their illness.
