ISO Table Shower and Body Scrub in DC

[+ Hoover42]

I'm looking for a spa in the DC area that can provide table showers and body scrubs.

 

A few years ago, I had something similar (called a Vichy Shower Massage) while visiting Montreal at a spa on the ground floor of the Omni Hotel. Sadly, the last time I checked, they no longer offer the service.

 

If I could find something similar in DC, I would be overjoyed.

 

Thanks!

Vichy Shower FAQ's

Sep 20 2012 | by Dr. Lynda Torrey, under Woodhouse Services

 

 

The Vichy Shower originated in Vichy, France, an area 250 miles south of Paris along the Allier River. Vichy is called the gateway to the Augverne region in central France. This region is resplendent with six geothermal mineral springs that have been used for eons for hot spring “cures” for arthritis, rheumatism, gout and digestive complaints. Vichy continues to be world-renowned for it’s spa therapies. The Vichy Shower itself consists of a “rainbar” that is attached to a temperature and water control box fitted to the wall in a tiled room. As the guest reclines face-down on a spa table, similar to a massage table, the rainbar extends from the wall over the guest to the shoulder area. The six showerheads are positioned so that they cascade over the guests back and legs. During treatment, the Vichy begins as a warm shower that balances, reinforces the immune system and relaxes the body. After three minutes of this luxurious shower, the therapist performs an alternate hot and cold therapy shower that oxygenates, detoxifies and firms and tones the skin. Due to the action of flushing the lymphatic system for detoxification and the contracting and relaxing of the skin for firming and toning, the Vichy Shower can produce results as very few therapies have the ability to do.

Hey Hoover,

 

You should also consider spa world in Centreville, VA or Spa Riverside in Annandale, VA. Both are traditional Korean spas that provide table showers and body scrubs.
