Abano.it - The 4 steps of a mud application

1. Mud application
You'll be taken to a quiet and private room where the professional staff will apply a layer of mud on you at a suitable temperature.

The feeling's unique and deserves to be experienced...
Despite the mud's high temperature that's usually about 40°- 50° C, you won't feel anything either annoying or scalding, but rather a pleasant feeling of enveloping warmth; in fact the mud, thanks to its special properties, keeps its cosmetic features even if watered down a lot.

The mud slowly releases warmth and therefore, while keeping the body's temperature high, there isn't any danger of being burnt. While the mud works (not only thermally, but also by freeing its active principles) you can relax and enjoy the pleasant feeling it evokes.

	2.The thermal shower The mud's cooling lasts about 20 minutes: after revealing you all its "secrets", once it's cold and hard it loses all its properties. A pleasant thermal shower will clean you up and prepare you for the next step: the thermal bath.
	3. The thermal bath After the shower its time for a thermal bath of about 8 minutes in the spa waters... After the mud's warm cuddle you'll experience a feeling of unspeakable lightness and deep relax.
	4. The stimulating massage Finally, before going back to your room for a refreshing rest, enjoy a stimulating massage by expert masseurs that will allow your body to highly benefit from the session of treatments.

The common physiological reaction to the treatment consists in a general sense of tiredness, which lasts for the first days of treatments, until the body gets used to the applications of mature mud; at this point the important stage of stimulation of the organism begins, which will produce its beneficial effects.

All in all
...mud lessens the pain in the joints, improves the blood circulation in the tissues, stimulates the immune system and the body's capacity of regenerating itself.

Why the doctor?
Because even if there are only a few contraindications also this ancient natural therapy, like all the others, requires precise care and instructions from the doctor; for this reason in our spas a medical examination is compulsory before starting the mud bath treatments. Among the pathologies for which mud bath treatments are recommended there are, for instance, varicose veins and dermatological problems.
