The anti-ageing wellness programme supports people in leading healthier and more proactive lives as they age.
Anti-ageing involves integrating elements such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity and targeted spa treatments.
In particular, a diet of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats helps reduce inflammation, supports the immune system, and provides the right nutrients for healthy skin. On the other hand, regular physical activity improves muscle strength and tone, body flexibility and posture, and cardiovascular health.
Specific thermal treatments are also essential to keep ageing under control. Thermal baths, thermal mud wraps, saunas, steam baths and relaxing massages are a good way to improve circulation and stimulate cell renewal for a fresher, brighter skin and a healthier, more youthful appearance in general.

Anti-inflammatory wellness programmes help people reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve their general well-being through a combination of spa treatments (hydrotherapy, thermal baths, and mud therapy), physical exercise, and a healthy, balanced diet.
For example, thermal baths relieve inflammation thanks to the minerals contained in thermal water. Similarly, thermal mud, rich in minerals and nutrients, can alleviate muscle and joint pain.
Besides thermal baths and mud therapy, the anti-inflammatory programmes include hydrotherapy plans comprising swimming sessions in thermal pools, whirlpools, jet showers or Kneipp paths that improve blood circulation, alleviating inflammation. These spa treatments must be complemented by light exercise - swimming and walking - and a healthy diet based on foods rich in antioxidants and Omega-3 to reduce body inflammation.

The detox wellness programme assists the body in eliminating accumulated toxins.
Detox generally focuses on eliminating foods and substances that can harm the body, such as added sugars, highly processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine.
To counteract this, the programme includes eating healthier foods such as whole foods, water, vegetables, and other substances that help speed up detoxification.
By following a detox programme, a person can also experience benefits at the epidermal level.
Specific thermal spa treatments such as steam baths, saunas, and lymph-draining massages can eliminate excess toxins through the skin, thereby promoting relaxation.
Physical activity can also help complete the detoxification programme. It aids the body's detox process by stimulating circulation and improving the function of the lymphatic system.
However, these are light exercises like nature walks, yoga, and stretching.

The pain relief programme assists individuals in managing and alleviating pain through an integrated solution of thermal spa treatments and complementary therapies.
At spas, a pain relief programme may include, for example:
- hot thermal baths to relax tense muscles and relieve pain related to muscle tension, joint pain or other musculoskeletal disorders;
- hydrotherapy that includes whirlpool or jet showers that help improve blood circulation, alleviating pain;
- mud therapy involving the application of thermal mud on the skin for therapeutic purposes, such as reducing muscle and joint pain and inflammation;
- saunas and steam baths, which use heat to reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility and thus relieve pain.
Besides these treatments, the pain relief programme includes a number of complementary activities — such as yoga, tai chi, and meditation — that help reduce stress and increase general well-being.

A weight-loss-oriented wellness programme facilitates healthy slimming by combining essential elements, including adopting a healthy eating style, incorporating regular physical activities, and providing emotional support throughout the plan.
In terms of a balanced diet, a food plan rich in essential nutrients for the body, such as lean protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, can be provided. Consuming these nutrients is complemented by monitoring calories content and food portions to help individuals sustain a calorie deficit.
Alongside a healthy eating plan, specific spa treatments (saunas, thermal mud packs, and draining massages) are crucial for weight loss and cardiovascular exercises such as water fitness, yoga, Pilates, and hiking in nature.
Specialist medical input and psychological and motivational support are also essential to structuring a proper weight-loss-oriented wellness programme and achieving results.
