Balneo<strong>the</strong>rapy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> experience <strong>of</strong> wellbeing.<br />

Hydrokinetic <strong>the</strong>rapy.<br />

Natural rehabilitation.<br />

Balneo<strong>the</strong>rapy involves submerging <strong>the</strong> body<br />

in a tank containing hot, ozone-enriched<br />

<strong>the</strong>rmal water. Water is an extraordinary<br />

element because it facilitates all activities<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body joints: movements are looser,<br />

<strong>the</strong> muscles relax, pain decreases.<br />

Moreover <strong>the</strong> bubbles developed by <strong>the</strong> ozone<br />

ensure an intense vasodilatation because<br />

<strong>the</strong>y stimulate blood circulation.<br />

Balneo<strong>the</strong>rapy is performed in individual tubs<br />

using sodiobromidiodic <strong>the</strong>rmal waters<br />

at a temperature <strong>of</strong> 36-38°C.<br />

Treatments involve 15 minute cycles<br />

for a total <strong>of</strong> 12 baths (1 a day) and nearly<br />

always <strong>the</strong>y follow <strong>the</strong> fango<strong>the</strong>rapy.<br />

Thanks to <strong>the</strong> pressure exerted by <strong>the</strong> water,<br />

<strong>the</strong>rmal baths are ideal for <strong>the</strong> joints,<br />

for <strong>the</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> pain and muscular<br />

atrophy. <strong>The</strong>se treatments are extremely<br />

important in rehabilitation after traumas,<br />

fractures and surgery.<br />

Moreover, <strong>the</strong> chemical composition<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> water helps cure chronic inflammatory<br />

processes and many types <strong>of</strong> dermatosis.<br />

Hydrokinetics exploits <strong>the</strong> physical-chemical<br />

properties <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> water for <strong>the</strong>rapeutic purposes.<br />

When submerged in <strong>the</strong> pool, <strong>the</strong> body weighs<br />

nearly 90% less so that <strong>the</strong> person can handle<br />

<strong>the</strong> rehabilitation exercises with significantly<br />

less effort, thus achieving excellent results<br />

more quickly. <strong>The</strong> specific chemical composition<br />

and temperature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmal waters also<br />

facilitates easy, gradual recovery <strong>of</strong> muscle<br />

exercise. Hydrokinetic <strong>the</strong>rapy is <strong>the</strong> ideal<br />

treatment for patients with a deficit in muscular<br />

strength, it improves, or maintains existing,<br />

physical strength prior to surgery for patients<br />

with arthritis, neurological disorders<br />

and for <strong>the</strong> aged who find moving<br />

on land difficult and painful.<br />

<strong>The</strong> treatment in <strong>the</strong> pool is fun, relaxing,<br />

joining <strong>the</strong> <strong>beneficial</strong> effects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hot<br />

<strong>the</strong>rmal waters with those <strong>of</strong> physical exercise.<br />

This leads to a significant improvement<br />

in joint mobility and deambulation, alleviates<br />

pain and spasms. <strong>The</strong>refore, hydrokinetic<br />

<strong>the</strong>rapy is a natural, effective treatment<br />

not only to recover and maintain locomotory<br />

function, but also to reduce <strong>the</strong> recovery time<br />

for over-fatigued or traumatized joints.<br />
