Before the procedure, it is recommended to undergo a consultation with a doctor, since massage cannot be used for certain diseases. The doctor will give detailed advice and indicate which areas should be affected.

You can visit Charcot’s douche without prior preparation, you just need to have a swimsuit or swimming trunks, a head cap and slates or flip flops. Before the procedure, they put on a bathing suit and go into the shower room.

The technique of the session is as follows: the patient enters the shower room and becomes at a distance of about 3 meters from a nurse or other specialist. The stream of water begins to descend from top to bottom, massaging the desired areas of the body. The end result depends on how well the specialist does the hydromassage.

The procedure should be started from the back, then the patient begins to turn, alternating between the back and the front.When the front turn is a circular massage of the abdomen. During the procedure, the specialist avoids the formation of water on the spine, head, and mammary glands. A stream of water is sent from the extremities to the abdomen. At the initial stages of treatment, water temperatures are 40 degrees, then there is a constant decrease in temperature to 20 degrees.

During the procedure, there is a gradual decrease in temperature, going from hot to cold. At the beginning of the procedure, hot water up to 42 degrees is used, and then cold water is turned on for 20 seconds with a temperature of up to 20 degrees. At the next session, the temperature difference increases. Each time during the session, the water pressure is increased, and the temperature is reduced.

During the first few sessions, the body will get used to the load, at this time apply one water jet. If this action is not enough, the patient may come closer at will. If the patient feels sore or uncomfortable, you can go away. All this time, a specialist observes his well-being and says what and how to do.

During the hydromassage in the first sessions, patients may experience some discomfort. In girls with white and very sensitive skin on the body may appear bruises. In dark-skinned girls such bruises are usually less noticeable. Unpleasant sensations pass after 2-3 sessions, hematomas no longer appear and the body gradually gets used to the procedure.

Coming to the procedure, many patients ask how often they should be performed and what should be the duration of treatment. After visiting the doctor, the time required for the procedure to get rid of diseases and cosmetic defects is determined.

This treatment is carried out in the cabin, as this requires special equipment.The procedure is performed by a nurse or other specialist. The session lasts from one to five minutes, the time is determined by the doctor. The course of the massage is up to three weeks, such procedures can be done every day. After six months, the course of therapeutic massage can be repeated.

There are Scottish and fan douche Charcot. For Scottish use two hoses with water of different temperatures, you can use one hose, in which alternately change the temperature of the water. For 30 seconds, warm water is sent to the patient, and then 20 seconds is poured over cold. So in six minutes the temperature changes six times. Conduct up to 20 sessions every day or every other day. If the procedure is performed only on certain parts of the body, the procedures should be increased to 30 sessions.

With the fan method, the procedure is carried out in the same way, but at the same time a special nozzle is used. With its help, water is sprayed in the form of a fan. This procedure lasts 1 minute, water is applied with a temperature of from 20 to 32 degrees, while the flow of water varies from 1.5 to 3 atmospheres. Sessions are held every day.

Women who are engaged in fitness to maintain shape, Charcot's douche can be visited twice a week, while you can not take a break. After the procedures, you can apply an anesthetic gel, if the muscles will feel discomfort and pain, or a remedy for bruises,so that they dissolve faster.

Although Charcot's douche has many advantages, you should find out if there are any contraindications for its use and what are the pros and cons of this procedure.

Given that the water jet hits the body under strong pressure, this procedure is painful. Often hematomas appear at the site of water impacts; these can be small, almost invisible bruises or large hematomas. Especially bruises are visible in women with sensitive skin and blond hair.

Some patients feel discomfort and often stop treatment. Usually after carrying out several procedures bruises cease to appear. Starting treatment should be borne in mind that when hematomas appear, you will have to wait about two weeks until they disappear. So if women have to rest in a bathing suit, it is necessary to undergo a hydromassage in advance, so that the bruise marks should disappear.

Women need to take into account that it is not recommended to undergo this procedure during menstruation, moreover, it is impossible to do this to pregnant women, since this can provoke complications.After childbirth, women can undergo a course of treatment to restore the tone.

Recommendations and possible contraindications should not be ignored.otherwise, instead of a positive effect, you can harm your health. All procedures must be carried out by a qualified specialist, otherwise such a shower can be harmful to the body.

Before starting the course, it is better to listen to the recommendations of the doctor and take sessions in special institutions.

The great advantage of the procedure are the following factors:

• such a cheap massage;
• has high efficiency;
• work of the circulatory system improves;
• harmful substances and toxins are removed;
• skin becomes young and elastic.

Recently, these procedures have become most relevant when getting rid of cellulite, which is of great concern to many women. Thanks to the procedure, blood circulation starts to accelerate and metabolic processes improve. After the session, the subcutaneous fat begins to burn and cellulite becomes less noticeable.

Before a session, they consult a doctor, as this water massage is contraindicated for certain diseases, such as:

You can not carry out procedures for:

Particularly useful is the Charcot's douche for those who suffer from diseases of the nervous system, hydro-massage is simply necessary for such patients. Due to the pressure of hot water, you can relieve stress, calm down during neurosis and obsessive state.A jet of water directed to certain areas allows you to calm the nervous system, bring it back to normal.

Many patients are interested in whether it is possible to do the procedure at home in the bathroom with their own hands. At home you can spend a hydromassage, but the effect of the procedure will be less. This is due to the fact that during the hydromassage water is supplied by a strong powerful jet at a distance of 3 meters. To achieve the same action in modern apartments is extremely difficult. To raise the tone is quite suitable contrast daily shower with a special massage spray. But this method will be significantly lower in efficiency than the Charcot's douche.

Now there is a replacement for Charcot's soul in the stores - Alekseev's attachment. It can be called an analog of hydromassage. The design has a nozzle, through the use of which you can achieve the greatest effect.

Alekseev's shower works like a fire engine, that is, a lot of streams fly out of small holes. During operation, the water is not sprayed, but flows in one powerful jet and affects a certain part of the body.

Assembling Alekseev’s soul is not complicated;

• unscrew the shower head;
• screw adapter to hydromassage;
• fasten the nozzle to the hose.

Dos Alekseeva has two grids - on 19 and 61 holes, thanks to them the patient himself chooses the intensity and direction of the jet. If you use a mesh with 19 holes, you can get a needle massage, which will get rid of cellulite. When using a mesh with 61 holes, you can achieve the maximum effect, which will be even more than in Charcot's soul. Thus, it is quite possible to make a home medical shower.

Most often, the nozzle Alekseeva acquire women with the purpose of losing weight.

• break up subcutaneous fat;
• normalize blood circulation, speed up metabolism;
• detoxify;
• warm up the skin and muscles.

In addition to cosmetic defects, these procedures are used in many diseases of the cardiovascular, nervous system, weather, climax, diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

A lot of positive feedback was left by patients undergoing a course of hydromassage. It was also interviewed many doctors of different specialties. According to the doctors, this procedure should be carried out only according to the testimony of the attending physician, who takes into account chronic diseases.The procedure should be carried out only by a highly qualified specialist, otherwise only a negative effect can be achieved instead of a positive one.

Dos Charcot, according to doctors, is very effective. But one should take into account the opinion of the gynecologist, who is categorically against the use of hydromassage on the abdomen and inner thighs and in the groin of women. The cosmetologist recommends carrying out such a treatment for cellulite, but only after consulting a doctor.

For many patients, this procedure was quite painful, especially for the first time. But after going through two or more procedures, discomfort and pain disappeared, vigor and vigor appeared. After 10 procedures, the skin has become more elastic and smooth.

For a therapeutic effect, it is better to complete a full course. Many patients recommend going through a single procedure and not taking the whole course at once to determine whether this procedure is suitable or whether it will cause discomfort and soreness.
