Mud therapy
For some people taking a holiday means fun and sport and for others it is the pursuit of well-being. However, you can find both at the spas in the Veneto Region. There are extraordinary healing properties in the application of various therapeutic, aesthetic and "getting back into shape" treatments found in the spas. Among the different types of applications, mud treatment is excellent thanks to the unique properties found in the mud that is used.
Due to its unique anti-inflammatory and therapeutic properties, the mud of the Terme Euganee boasts a European patent (DOC ripened mud). The secret is in the water that starts to flow from the uncontaminated basins of the Alps, and after a long underground journey during which it is enriched with particularly beneficial minerals, it resurfaces in the area of the Terme Euganee at a temperature of 87 °. This unique water is at the base of the ripening, conservation and regeneration process of the thermal mud.
From a microbiological point of view, the mud of the Euganean area is "ripened mud" and is able to guarantee proven and durable therapeutic effects after undergoing a series of transformations resulting in the combined action of thermal water, clay and microorganisms.

Balneoterapia
It is one of the most widespread spa treatments and is often associated with the application of mud and massaging.
But what is balneotherapy? This is bathing in tubs with or without whirlpool, where the therapeutic action is determined by the temperature of the water and the chemical composition of the water itself. Recommended for inflammatory problems and for dermatosis, this therapy is often used together with mud-bath treatment.
At the Euganee Spa, balneotherapy avails itself of the use of the salty-bromine-iodine spa water combined with heat to allow effective rehabilitative care. The therapy is especially recommended for painful syndromes and muscle contractures, for rehabilitation programmes after traumas, fractures and surgical interventions, to resolve chronic inflammatory processes.
In the spa centre of Recoaro Terme, in the province of Vicenza, you are offered various types of therapeutic baths. The ochre bath is very famous, based on strongly mineralized water, that is effective not so much for the absorption of substances through the skin, but as for the stimulation that mineral ions exert on the nerve endings of the skin.
The spa centre of Bibione has a balneotherapy unit suitable for the treatment of rheumatic and orthopaedic illnesses. The temperature of the water and salts dissolved therein ensure therapeutic efficacy.
Cave thermal baths
Among the treatments available at the spas of the Veneto region, thermal caves are a unique therapy. Made up of natural or artificial geological cavities, a source of thermal mineral water of high temperatures saturates the area with steam. These caves can also be artificial, in order to provide patients with this type of environment.
The difference between the different types of thermal caves may be based on the temperature of the mineral water, its chemical composition, the amount of moisture, or the degree of ionization of the air. With the use of this type of treatment, the patient intensely sweats and this helps eliminate metabolic waste, detoxifies, boosts circulation and tones the entire body.
The patient enters caves equipped with a special microclimate that assists the treatment of certain diseases affecting the respiratory system, metabolism diseases, forms of neuro-arthritis and post-traumatic rehabilitation.
Bibione stands out among the spas in the Veneto region where this treatment is offered. Bibione has a distinctive structure with a waterfall, where the water falling from above naturally generates the steam that saturates the environment.
The thermal cave therapy is provided together with mud and balneo therapies in the various establishments of the Terme Euganee. The uniqueness of the water that flows in this area is used to generate the steam used in thermal caves. A place to regenerate and find a psycho-physical balance.

Hydrokinetic therapy
Hydrokinetic therapy uses the physical and chemical properties of water for therapeutic purposes. It makes it possible to do rehabilitation exercises with almost no body weight that would be particularly painful and difficult if they were to be done out of the water.
Thanks to the pressure and the temperature of the water, hydrokinetic therapy stimulates the lymphatic flow and circulation leading to progressive muscle relaxation and a decrease of pain.
