Italy
has a centuries old tradition of therapeutic spas that cater to
the wellness of the entire body. It's thermal and mineral
springs are world renowned for their restorative and
rejuvenating powers going back to medieval days. The healing
waters contain a variety of highly concentrated minerals which
are used to bring about either a cure or the lessening of
severity for conditions such conditions as, skin problems, joint
problems, gout, arthritis, vascular difficulties, respiratory
ailments, and metabolic disorders.
European
athletes recognize and rely on the therapeutic benefits of
their very efficacious mineral waters and therapies to condition
themselves prior to, during and following sports activities to
improve their performance and obviate injuries.
Fitness
and sports enhancement programs are now common in the modern spa
resorts and here you will find yoga, Pilates, aerobics, spinning
and other fitness programs.
These
waters are used in balneotherapy, hydrotherapy, inhala-tion or as
a drinking cure for intestinal problems. The content of the
water determines it's use. For this reason it is very important
to know which spa treats which need, i.e. calcium dense water
would have a different effect than an iron rich water.
Italy
is also famous for it's fango mud which is widely used
for muscle and joint aches and pains and especially for
rheumatism and arthritis. This special mud is the result of the
chemical composition provided by Italy's volcano's. The mud is
then blended with the mineral water of the specific spa and left
to mature for a period of up to 18 months which then results in
a third synergy intensifying it's effect and bringing about the
desired result. Since therapeutic programs are so specific we
provide very personal consultation as to which spa would best
serve your purposes.
Italy's
spas have now evolved to encompass every element of the wellness
and aesthetic field and have state-of-the-art spa resorts to
satisfy every health or leisure interest, from therapeutic to
pure pampering, anti-stress, revitalization, rejuvenation,
fitness and sports programs. They feature all manner of
treatment from holistic to Ayurvedic, Thai, aesthetic and weight
loss. Some of the more clinical spas have full health
evaluation, surgical procedures and dental programs.
One
of the major attractions of Italian spas is that they are
located in beautiful surroundings - either panoramic, pastoral,
historical or in quaint villages or charming towns. So you can
choose the ambiance that suits you as yet another element in the
success of the program you embark on.
