The benefits of thermal mud at Abano Terme
Hotel Smeraldo is a thermal centre specialising in fango-balneotherapy. The mud used in mud therapy is a skilful fusion of three elementary components: a solid, a liquid and a biological one.
It is matured through treatment in special tanks for 50-60 days, in which the special microbial properties that infuse the mud with its therapeutic properties develop.
Mud therapy
The mud is applied directly to the skin at a temperature of between 37°C and 38°C for a period of between 15 and 20 minutes. At the end of the application, the mud is removed with a warm shower.
Balneotherapy
Next, you are immersed in the thermal bath at a temperature of 37-38°C for about 8 minutes. After drying and wrapping with warm cloths, it is recommended to rest for 30 to 40 minutes, allowing the sweat reaction to continue the biological effects of the mud bath.
Thermal massage
Combined with the thermal cure, massages perform myorelaxant activities on the body, making a considerable contribution. If one considers that muscle contracture often contributes to the increase in pain symptoms, the contribution this therapy makes to the patient is evident.
