22 Jan Hydrotherapy. Discover the multiple benefits of the Spa
Full relaxation for your body and mind
Since their origins associated mainly with the ancient Roman baths, Spas have become part of our life as something linked to physical and mental well-being.
Many historians associate the term with the Belgian town of Spa, very famous in Roman times for its hot springs.
Although there are also those who affirm that this place name comes from a famous hot spring center located in the Liege region (Belgium), a region very popular with the families of the high aristocracy of the early 20th century.
Whatever its origin, it is clear that Spas have now become a very important part of the health and wellness industry.
And it is that the multiple benefits that hydrotherapy has shown both for the body and for the mind, are what have led to turning the Spas into a formula of success.
