When we talk about sport, we often forget that, besides performance,
the previous training and an healthy diet, it is also
important to have a recovery phase after physical exercise,
during which the body recovers from effort
and restores energies.

When we talk about sport, we often forget that, besides performance, the previous training and an healthy diet, it is also important to have a recovery phase after physical exercise, during which the body recovers from effort and restores energies.

The Thermae are the ideal place for the post-activity recovery phase, because here sportspeople can rest

their body and mind and exploit the beneficial proprieties of thermal water and Thermal Clay^®, in order to quicken the recovery time.

Matching massage therapy

Matching massage therapy and idrokinesi therapy sessions to mud therapy, means to work in synergy in order to quicken the psycho-physical re-balancing and reducing pain. What is more, exploiting these natural therapies as well as the skills of specialized staff to prevent functional disorders and painful symptoms, allows us to dedicate ourselves to physical activity with less risks.

Mud therapy against inflammations

Thermal Clay^®is normally applied to the body at a temperature of 40/42°C. Even though heat might be contraindicated in case of inflammations, it is also true that it is actually the thermal shock which stimulates the organism to produce endogenous opioid substances with an analgesic effect; also, the active principles released by Thermal Clay^®have an anti-inflammatory effect. Even in case of painful symptoms and/or osteon-articular pathology restricted to a particular area, the application of Thermal Clay^®is usually extended to the whole body, in order to induce that global reaction of reactivation of the organism. Partial application (only on hands/feet, knees and/or elbows) of Thermal Clay^®is done only to people whose pathologies don’t allow mud-balneotherapy.

Talk about “Having adrenaline
into the body”

Many sports request an important focusing and an alert participation, both for the safety of people practicing them and in order to reach prefixed goals. The body reacts by releasing adrenaline rushes, which are used to improve the performance: the athlete acts/reacts immediately, with muscle contraction and pupil dilatation, and all the body’s energies are directed to the muscles involved in the action. Adrenaline makes you not feel pain: this is a double edged sword, because on the one hand, it allows you to finish the action, on the other it contributes compromising more an injury/trauma because the athlete doesn’t stop. When the adrenaline level decreases, pain and the consequent trauma are made manifest.
