A thermal therapy apparatus has a detecting device for detecting the irradiation direction of energy in thermal therapy by which energy irradiates a living body, and can thereby easily set an emission portion in a desired direction and control the thermal therapy on the basis of the detection information. This thermal therapy apparatus for performing a medical treatment by irradiating a living body with energy includes an energy generator for generating the energy, an insertion portion which can be inserted into a living body and which has a reflecting portion for performing lateral irradiation of the energy with respect to the longitudinal direction of the insertion portion, a transmitting unit for transmitting the energy generated by the energy generator to the reflecting portion, a direction detecting unit for detecting the irradiation direction of the energy in the insertion portion, and a controller for controlling the thermal therapy on the basis of information about the detection by the direction detecting unit.
