Lauded as a Leading spa of the world, Thaermae del Forte houses our thalassotherapy centre and all our wonderful spa treatments. This unique blend of therapies and treatments makes our spa the ideal place to relax and rebalance the body and mind.
Thalassotherapy is at the heart of Thaermae del Forte. Following twenty years of research led by Dr. Angelo Cerina, the medical team at Thaermae del Forte has re-written the history of wellness. The team's experiments led them to discover the enormous benefits of immersion in a series of seawater pools at different temperatures with different salt contents. Here at Thermae del Forte, some of the pools have a higher saline concentration than the Dead Sea. A vital element in our integrated thalassotherapy treatment is sea oil, natural seawater with a high magnesium content.
The osmotic effect that is produced greatly accelerates ion exchange between the water and the body. This helps drain excess fluids and allows magnesium to be absorbed. After these extraordinary results gained international prizes, the Centre for Research in Medical Bioclimatology, Biotechnologies, and Natural Medicines of Milan University has promoted the Thalassotherapy Research Centre at Thaermae del Forte. Unique in Europe, this recognition constitutes a new development in Wellness Medicine.
The therapy forms a harmonious system of treatments that thoroughly assess the patient, integrating a focused thalassotherapy course with massage therapy and beauty treatments. The treatments that can be integrated include shiatsu in a separate room, massages in water, moxa, rehabilitative physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractics with craniosacral techniques. You can also experience scrubs and hydro-massages with the typical plants and essences of Sardinia and the Sardinian sea.
