Claude, suffering from a chronic cough and ENT problems for several decades, found hydrotherapy a promising therapeutic alternative. Today, she is starting a spa treatment for the third year and enthusiastically shares the benefits she gets from it.
Hydrotherapy, a natural and effective alternative
After testing several unsuccessful treatments to treat a chronic cough that appeared thirty years ago, Claude was tempted by a spa treatment. “I was very tired at the time and having never been able to determine the origin of my cough, my doctor finally recommended a spa treatment “, she says.

Breathing and movements: keys to relieving ENT problems
It was during his third spa treatment in Gréoux-les-Bains, a resort in the Southern Alps, that the physiotherapist introduced Claude to very beneficial breathing exercises.
« He taught us the tonic positions to adopt, taught us how to hold ourselves well and breathe well. Some people were not used to making any effort and I saw the difference between those who exercised regularly and those who did not. Have a straight spine is very important. He had us do breathing exercises (inhaling through our noses, blowing out through our mouths with weights for twisting). This positions the body upright, which is essential for people with ENT problems.», explains Claude. For this regular walker who practices yoga all year round, these breathing and posture exercises are naturally simpler to do.
Treatments in the great outdoors
Claude favors spa resorts which offer spa guests beautiful panoramas and hiking opportunities. His three thermal cures in respiratory tract and rheumatology in Vernet-les-Bains, at the Mont-Dore thermal baths and in Gréoux-les-Bains have enabled him to discover different regions. Living in Fontainebleau, on the edge of the forest, she walks all year round and does not plan to stay idle during the treatment. She always books her stay at the end of August/beginning of September for enjoy pleasant weather and go hiking.
With an active temperament, Claude appreciates relax your mind with daily outings. Accompanied by a friend, she goes to get some fresh air, but recognizes that some spa guests prefer rest after treatment. This is the advantage of the treatment to be able to choose your scheduledepending on his state of fatigue and his pathology.
