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.
Canyoning
Often confused with other sports, canyoning consists in descending rivers clinging to a rope, where the obstacles are small waterfalls, slides and rock recesses.
This is not only an extreme sport, as the routes have different levels of difficulty; the important thing is to know how to swim and have the urge to indulge for a few hours in strong emotions, but in safe conditions though, always.
Here some suggestions for your canyoning experience.
