Wellbeing programmes in Sicily

The island offers a range of wellbeing experiences, to be savoured in one of the many Sicilian spa hotels or resorts. Jacuzzi, Turkish baths, spa pools, are just some of the treats you can immerse yourself in. Moments of total relaxation.
On top of this, there are the more complete therapy treatments: a rereading of the oldest spa traditions, which in Sicily date back to the times of the Greeks and Romans, taken right up to the cutting-edge of modern wellbeing science.
Thalassotherapy is an ancient tradition dating back to the Greeks, and which in Sicily has always married with the natural powers of the island; a must for those that want to soothe circulatory and muscular problems, or simply want a treatment that takes good care of the skin and body.
Thalassotherapy uses the beneficial properties of sea water, thanks to the plankton in the water, which have antibacterial functions, and its salt content. The therapeutic power of sea water is extraordinary, with immediate results when used both internally and externally, used in the treatment of many complaints such as circulatory problems, joint pain, arthritis, rickets, as well as dermatitis, tuberculosis and post-traumatic stress rehabilitation. It also alleviates inflammations, cures ailments of the respiratory tract, helps with female genital complaints, is excellent for muscle rehabilitation and helps to bolster the immune system. In short, it does something for everyone.
Thalassotherapy has general benefits for all; it's no surprise that a beach vacation is always recommended by pediatricians and doctors. Not only sea water, but also sand and seaweed: for your wellbeing, we have selected spa offers that make the most of the properties and trace elements of the sea, including sanding, mists, bath therapy, and treatments with algae.
Amongst the spa vacation packages selected by Sicilying you'll find not only tradition but also modernity. One example is Kneipp therapy, which you'll be able experience as part of many of our choice spa holidays.
Kneipp therapy is based on hydrotherapy and uses the healing power of water to rejuvenate the body.
The most common type of Kneipp therapy consists of walking along paths of river pebbles, in which your feet are immersed alternately in hot and cold water. The full course is a real hydrotherapy treatment in which the alternating hot and cold water is perfectly designed according to defined healing principles. The thermal shock caused by immersion in water at different temperatures stimulates the circulatory system and the immune system. The immersion in hot water creates capillary dilation and an extraordinary feeling of relaxation, while the cold water tones and strengthens the body. The natural water massage (hydro-massage) has many draining properties; the lymphatic drainage massage is often carried out after the walk to further accentuate the feeling of lightness in the legs. After the treatment, depending on the spa resort chosen, you can dedicate some time to a sauna or Turkish bath.
Kneipp therapy can have a very positive effect on the emotions, giving a deep sense of serenity and inner wellbeing. Sicily offers, moreover, not only the power of water but also the energy of volcanoes in one of the many spa hotels of Catania. And here it is the Orient that has taught us new ways of wellbeing.
Lava stones placed on chakra points radiate vibrations of warm energy, relieving tensions in the body and mind. This is the Chakra Stone Massage, an Oriental technique based on ancient energy therapies, aimed at recuperating harmony and psycho-physical equilibrium. With a Chakra Stone Massage, the power of lava stones is combined with that of ayurvedic massage: slow, enveloping movements relax and stretch, melting the tensions of the body and mind, with an extraordinary harmonizing and balancing effect. Body and soul stop being separate entities, merging in blissful moments of absolute relaxation. With the Chakra Stone Massage you will experience sublime moments that break the daily routine with an oasis of serenity.
Nor has Sicily forgotten the ancient use of chromotherapy and the benefits it brings to body and mind.
According to chromotherapy, colours give off energy that can help restore the natural balance between body and mind, with therapeutic effects both physically and mentally. The practice of chromotherapy has ancient origins; according to tradition, both the Egyptians ancient Greeks used it. The Greeks associated colours to the four elements – earth, air, fire, water – and associated these in turn to so-called 'humors' or 'body fluids'. One's state of health was the result of balancing these elements, which if altered, gave rise to illness; cromotherapy was used to re-gain the lost equilibrium. There are modern scientific studies which support the practice of chromotherapy: light enters our body as electromagnetic waves and interacts with our cells and in this way the colours, interacting with the cells, improve biological functions. The chromotherapy treatments available in spa hotels are numerous, ranging from showers and baths to chromopuncture, light spraying and much else. All of these treatments lead you in the same direction: towards recovering psycho-physical balance and the relaxing experience that follows. Moments of true wellbeing.
