Vichy shower

A Vichy shower is a kind of shower in which large quantities of warm water are poured over a spa patron while she / he is lies in a shallow (wet) bed, similar to a massage table, but with drainage for the water.

Descriptions from spas that offer Vichy shower treatments:

"The Vichy Shower, which originated in France, consists of a wet treatment table and five head shower system. Imagine lying down and having warm water massage you like rain falling from the sky!" [http://www.m-spa.com/vichy.htm]

"Relaxing massage performed under sprinklers. Water is heated to body temperature. This massage increases circulation and lymphatic flows, which aid the body in cleansing itself of toxins." [http://www.theworldwidegourmet.com/bellemag/glossary/mas-vichy.htm]

"Imagine lying under a warm waterfall. ... The Vichy Shower treatment provides pressure point massage jets over your entire body to assist in the relaxation and stimulation of the mind and body. ... The Vichy shower is a 7 headed 'rain bar'. The rain bar heads can be adjusted to provide either light rain massage, or a higher pressure to target specific tension areas. Treatments can be taken alone, or used in conjunction with massage, for a deeply relaxing and therapeutic encounter." [http://www.amethystsalonandspa.com/vichy_shower.htm]
