Medical spa treatment

The ‘Medical Spa’ - a health, relaxation and rehabilitation centre which can help conditions from rheumatism, disc prolapse, to circulatory and nervous system problems - has existed in Europe for well over a hundred years. European spas were developed to help visitors improve their health, so historically the focus was on addressing a specific medical condition (such as allergies or pulmonary complaints) and a spa physician would recommend a regimen of tailor made treatments.

Combining a holiday with a form of health treatment is nothing new - for over two thousand years people have been drawn towards taking restful breaks to rejuvenate, invigorate and heal.
