A Vichy Shower is a piece of spa equipment that originated in Vichy, France and has been incorporated in many spas and salons throughout the world. It has 5 to 7 shower heads positioned above a cushioned wet table, set in a wet room. Wet rooms are tiled rooms that are similar to a bathroom, but much larger with a drain in the middle. The Vichy Shower is typically used to aid in body treatments, such as salt scrubs and body wraps. Instead of having to get up to go shower off the salt or mud in a personal shower, Vichy showers allow you to remain lying on the table as the water rinses your skin. The gentle cascade of water has been described to being in a warm rainfall.

Vichy showers can rinse the skin, ease muscle tension, aid in circulation and promote relaxation. The pressurized shower heads can be adjusted to focus on specific areas, or can pivot for an allover soothing water massage. Some Vichy showers come with a face screen to protect it from spraying water. The massage table is similar to a dry massage table, but is waterproof. Vichy showers offer an “extreme” massage with warm water pumping through pressurized jets to turn your mundane massage into a stimulating experience.
