B-Medic, a haven of peace to recharge your batteries

It is a health clinic located in a small private hotel in the heart of Lausanne. Everything here has been designed to make you feel at home in absolute comfort. It’s no coincidence that many expectant mothers come to this discreet address to stay in shape and preserve their beauty. There are a number of tailor-made treatments that allow you to concoct a complete regime to ensure your well-being both inside and out. A special mention for the anti “heavy legs” program with drainage thanks to LPG® patented endermology treatments that activate the body’s elimination functions and stimulate blood circulation while relieving the symptoms of water retention, especially during pregnancy.

There are two massage techniques that require a great deal of skill, one is therapeutic massage, targeting painful areas that allow the body to adapt to the changes brought on by pregnancy. This massage is not indicated before the 4th month. The other method is a relaxation massage to learn to let go.
