10 reasons to go to Monticelli Spa

Banish stress and worries, take care of your skin, breath and movement, loosen up your muscles or simply take some time to yourself: the Monticelli Spa should be on every person's "to do list" to get their fill of well-being.

Reduce stress

A study of more than 3,000 Japanese workers who routinely attend spa facilities showed improvement in physical and mental health, including reduced stress levels . Regardless of the path one follows, a wellness break at Terme di Monticelli, taking time for self-care, helps one relax thanks to the regenerating and soothing power of the thermal water and the natural setting that surrounds the facility, which is immersed in a thousand-year-old park.
The joy of taking a break all to oneself does the rest.

Treating respiratory tract disorders

Spas are synonymous withrespiratory well-being. It is confirmed by science that thermal waters have a vasodilatory action that helps dilute mucus and help our bodies expel it more easily.
This contributes to improved respiratory capacity.

Boosting the immune system

An anti-influenza shield, thermal cures help reduce the number and intensity of winter ailments, namely coughs, sore throats and colds.
In fact, sulfur waters have a mucolytic action that helps thin phlegm.
Not only that.
The beneficial action of the waters is evident across the board, as they stimulate the entire immune system to boost its defenses.
They are natural, well tolerated, non-invasive and have no contraindications.
In addition, fewer episodes of illness mean fewer medications.

Purifying and detoxifying the body

Changing the temperature and humidity levels of the steam baths and saunas in the spa help the body eliminate toxins and waste in a comfortable wooden environment, with a final shower of cold water.
Saunas are among the healthiest wellness rituals for one’s body.

Fighting fibromyalgia

Due to their sulfur and bromine-iodine salt properties and high salt concentration associated with heat activity, Monticelli’s thermal waters have a beneficial and analgesic action on inflammation.
Rehabilitative activity in the water, aimed at muscle and postural rebalancing of aching joints, further contributes to reducing discomfort and fibromyalgia pain.
If muscles are relaxed, it is easier to move them, consequently, body stiffness also decreases.

Improve circulation and fight cellulite

Salso-bromo-iodine water acts on venous microcirculation and stimulates peripheral cellular metabolism, activating circulation in fatty areas and where fluid stagnation is present.
Here’s what happens: of marine origin and high salinity, the action of water works by osmosis.
It transports fluids that stagnate between cells to the outside of the skin.

In addition to hot thermal baths, whirlpoolsessions that stimulate blood circulation are particularly useful.
Lymphatic drainage massages, on the other hand, help push accumulated fluids in the fatty tissue toward the lymphatic vessels.

Mud also has an effective cellulite-reducing action due to its remineralizing and draining properties.

Illuminating the skin

Due to its purifying, inflammatory and blood circulation activating action, thermal water and mud baths make the skin brighter and more elastic.
In addition, prolonged baths in the thermal water have a natural exfoliating effect on the skin, which appears brighter, smoother and more elastic;

Immerse yourself in nature

Centuries-old oaks, towering conifers, Lebanon holm oaks, silver-leafed Atlas cedars, linden trees and a large magnolia tree: the Spa Park is Monticelli’s largest green lung, a place open to all where you can walk and breathe along its paths.
It is twenty-five hectares of pure nature, to be explored on foot by following the Wellness Trail, a step-by-step itinerary with guided signage.
Or to indulge in outdoor activities of natural fitness and breathing gymnastics in the green.
It is an island of silence where you can seek the right size to take forest baths, practice Nordic walking, yoga and rebirthing techniques.

Increasing the quality of sleep

The sedative action of bromine, naturally present in the waters of Monticelli Spa, acts on the nervous systems, instilling calm and preparing the body for regular sleep.
Also helping this sedative action is the muscle relaxation of swimming or bathing in thermal water and contact with nature.

Getting to know the territory

Just a few kilometers from Parma, staying at Terme di Monticelli is an opportunity to discover the beauty of the ducal city: the romantic heart and true soul, Giuseppe Verdi and the culatello.
Visiting Parma is a pleasure for curious spirits.
