What is another name for thalassotherapy?

Thalassotherapy refers to a therapeutic use of seawater and marine elements for health and wellness benefits. The term "thalasso" comes from the Greek word for "sea," emphasizing the connection to marine resources. Hydrotherapy, which is the correct answer, encompasses the use of water for pain relief and treatment, and it can include various forms such as baths, showers, and saunas. Given that thalassotherapy specifically uses seawater and sea-derived elements for therapy, it falls under the broader category of hydrotherapy.

The other options, while related to water-based therapies, do not specifically denote the use of seawater or focus on the marine elements that characterize thalassotherapy. Aquatic therapy often involves exercises and rehabilitation in water but may not exclusively focus on marine resources. Deep water therapy refers more to exercising in deeper water for rehabilitation and does not capture the essence of thalassotherapy. Water massage might involve using water jets or other techniques in a therapeutic context but lacks the specific link to the therapeutic properties of the sea.
