SPORT FACILITIES  AT THE PROPERTY OR NEARBY  AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES

Tis the starting point for various takes on the Hydrokinesis® method, part of a research project of the University and Hospital of Padua, subdivided to cover the following areas:

Hydrokinesis Area, Rehabilitation in thermal water.
Immersion in suitably thermal water cooled to 30-35° combines the myo-relaxing and pain-relieving effect typical of its chemical composition with the dynamising effect triggered by the many micronised hydrojets and the relevant mixer taps located  around the side of the pool. The result is extremely pleasant global hydrotherapy, which makes it possible to speed up recovery periods, reduce painful symptoms and reflexive muscle contractions. Two pools have been conceived to satisfy the needs of patients wanting treatment in a private environment, which is indispensable for those with particularly difficult illnesses. Rehabilitation for circulatory and lymphatic disturbances of the lower limbs, on the other hand, is carried out in swimming pools with contrasting depths and variable temperatures. Each session in the water is monitored with a special cinematographic video system placed in certain parts of the pools which allows the patient to self-correct the prescribed movement and thereby perform it correctly. Access into the pools has been designed specifically for persons with restricted mobility, and includes a mechanical device which helps patients to get into the pools. A team of therapists is always on hand for the patients, who are closely supervised throughout each stage of the treatment.

Kinesitherapy Area and Motor Recovery.
Kinesitherapy treatment of passive and active mobilisation is carried out in the gym along with treatments for functional and postural re-education, and sessions to build up muscles with highly technological equipment. All the treatments are performed by the rehabilitation therapist. Staff members are also specialists in neurological illnesses and treatments for lymphodemas. Under the guidance of the personal trainer, guests do preventive gymnastics for the cervical and lumbar spine, for the shoulders and limbs.

Physical Therapy Area.
A department where magnotherapy, ultrasound therapy, electrotherapy for pain relief, high power laser therapy, electrostimulation of muscles and ionophoresis are performed… all for treating many inflammatory and painful illnesses, an integral part of the Hydrokinesis® rehabilitative protocol.

Thermal Area.
Mud therapy, balneotherapy, inhalations and aerosol therapy, mud therapy for treating sinusitis, variable pressure hot-tubs, a thermal cave with vaporised water and a course through thermal water: a wide range of treatments arise when water meets earth in the muds of Abano, a natural medicine for thousands of years.
