Following the
tradition of
thermal
hospitality in
Abano, the
Firenze Terme
Hotel has its
very own
mud-bathing
therapy Spa,
with highly
qualified staff
working under
medical
supervision. The Firenze
Terme Hotel is
included in the
University of
Padua’s O.T.P. (Permanent
Thermal
Observatory) monitoring
system, which
controls the
maturation
process and
quality of
thermal mud.
The mud-bathing
therapy is used
in the treatment
and prevention
of a wide range
of pathologies,
including in
particular osteoporosis,
fibromyositic
rheumatism (bursitis,
tendonitis,
periarthritis,
epicondylitis),
traumatic
lesions and the
after-effects of
fractures,
orthopaedic
surgery, gout,
primary
dysmetabolic and
inflammatory
rheumatism, as
well as many disorders of the
respiratory
apparatus.
Treatment stages:
All the mud
therapy sessions
consist of four
basic elements:
a.the
application
of
thermal
mud (ca.
15/20
minutes),
b.
the
bathing
in
thermal
water
(ca.
15/20 minutes),
c.the
sweat
reaction
(timing
depending
on one’s
own
response
to the
treatment),
d.the
massage with its
invigorating
effect
on the
muscular
and
nervous
systems
(15 or
30 min).
In the same way
as all the other
natural
treatments, the
mud-bathing
therapy sessions
normally take
place in the
morning, daily (except
on Sundays), so
to intensify the
treatments
effect day after
day.
