Study Arms (2)

Immediate SPA treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

3-week immediate SPA treatment (soon after randomization)

Other: 3-week immediate SPA treatment

Late SPA treatment

SHAM COMPARATOR

Other: 3-week late SPA treatment

Interventions

3-week immediate SPA treatment OTHER

a comprehensive program soon after randomization including sessions of balneotherapy, diet information, exercise training. The most adapted to the concerned pathology and common to all SPA resorts (walk in a specially pool, whirlpool bath with automatic air and water massages cycles, massages shower...)

Also known as: Immediate SPA treatment
