 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.
      
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.
      
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.
       
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.
