The Hotel Savoia Thermæ & Spa is recognised by the Italian Ministry of Health as a “Superior Level 1” thermal facility.

The uniqueness, precious therapeutic properties of the thermal mud of the Hotel Savoia are guaranteed by a European Patent confirming their excellence.

The beneficial effects of Abano Terme’s “aged mud” are strictly linked to its process of maturation in thermal water.

During this process, which lasts 50-60 days, the mud is enriched by those active principles with pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties that have been known since antiquity.
The ageing of the mud is monitored by the Permanent Thermal Observatory at the University of Padua, which certifies the quality and uniqueness of the mud, recognising its effectiveness in the reduction of pain and inflammation, particularly in relation to bone and joint (osteoarticular) disorders, making is equivalent to a “natural medicine”.

The phases of Global Mud Therapy®

1

Application of the thermal mud

Having been welcomed by our therapists, you undergo the application of the aged mud, which is also known as bio-thermal clay, directly onto your skin, at a temperature of between 37°C and 42°C for a period of between 15 and 20 minutes.
At the end of the application, the mud is removed by means of a revitalising thermal shower.

Our health director and the thermal wellness staff are always on hand to recommend the most suitable mud application for your needs, so as to made every mud-bath therapy ritual unique and customised.

2

Bathing in thermal water with or without ozone

You can then look forward to a bath in warm thermal water, into which you can immerse yourself and relax for around 10 minutes.

After the mud-therapy session, a thermal bath at a temperature of 36°-38°C stimulates muscle relaxation and reduces blood pressure for a myorelaxant, rejuvenating effect thanks to the precious minerals and oligominerals in the thermal water.

Moreover, the addition of ozone exercises a further vasodilatory action with stimulant effects on the circulation. It all adds up to a unique, unforgettable experience of intense wellbeing.

3

Sweat Reaction

It is advisable after the thermal bath to rest for at least another 15 minutes – this is known as the reaction time.

During the so-called “sweat reaction”, the body is purified of poisonous toxins, for a dextoxifying, regenerative effect.

In this phase, it is recommended that you drink a great deal of water to reinstate the right balance of water and mineral salts. You can also enjoy a herbal tea or infusion for a truly relaxing experience.

4

Personalised therapeutic massage

Last of all, for a deep state of wellbeing, we recommend a full-body therapeutic massage which relieves muscle stiffness and is regenerative and myorelaxant.

If you’re looking for an innovative experience, you can combine a mud-bath therapy session with alternative wellness treatments, such as for example shiatsu massage or Ayurvedic massage.

For those looking to enhance the therapeutic effect, we recommend physio-kinesiotherapy, exercises to improve posture or a personal trainer.
