Mechanism of action
Spa treatments leverage the therapeutic properties of naturally heated mineral-rich waters combined with immersion, massage, and rest to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote musculoskeletal recovery. The mechanism involves both the chemical composition of thermal waters (minerals such as sulfur, silica, and trace elements) and the physical effects of heat and buoyancy on the body. This approach is classified as a non-pharmacological intervention within thermal medicine.
