Physiotherapy and massage therapy at Hotel Caesius

Imagine the tranquillity of Bardolino, a gentle breeze from Lake Garda and a spa devoted to restoring harmony between body and mind.

Sometimes, though, relaxation alone is not enough. Persistent tension, poor posture, muscle aches and everyday stress may call for a more targeted approach.

At Hotel Caesius Thermae & SPA Resort, traditional spa therapies come together with specialist expertise through our range of therapeutic massages, physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatments in thermal water. Available to both hotel guests and day visitors, these treatments can be booked individually or as part of a wider spa experience.

Treatments tailored to you

Whether you are experiencing muscle tension, joint stiffness or restricted movement, our qualified team will tailor the treatment to your specific needs. 

1. Physiotherapy massage (25 or 50 minutes)

A targeted treatment to help ease joint stiffness and persistent muscle tension. Specific strokes and techniques aim to relieve pain, improve mobility and support recovery.

Ideal for: those seeking focused treatment for a particular area in a 25-minute session, or a more comprehensive approach over 50 minutes. This treatment can also form part of a personalised rehabilitation programme.
 

2. Therapeutic massage (50 minutes)

Massage therapy focuses on the soft tissues, including the muscles and fascia. Deep strokes help release tension and address muscular imbalances associated with poor posture, leaving you feeling more relaxed and at ease.

Ideal for: persistent tension associated with desk work, poor posture and tight muscles. 
 

3. Muscle and tendon massage (50 minutes)

A targeted treatment for the muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments, designed to ease localised tension and discomfort while supporting easier movement.

Ideal for: those looking to relieve muscle or joint discomfort and move more freely in everyday life.
 

4. Manual lymphatic drainage (50 minutes)

Manual lymphatic drainage uses gentle, slow, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph flow and reduce swelling (oedema). By helping excess fluid drain from the tissues naturally, it enhances microcirculation and tissue health while speeding up recovery.

Ideal for: fluid retention and a feeling of heaviness in the limbs. It may also be suitable for swelling following an injury or surgery.

Rehabilitation and posture

5. Functional rehabilitation (45 minutes)

A one-to-one programme tailored to your needs and guided by a physiotherapist. Progressive exercises and targeted techniques help improve mobility, strength and coordination for a safe and effective recovery.

Ideal for: those recovering from an injury, a trauma, or surgery, or for those experiencing difficulties with movement and everyday activities.
 

6. Postural re-education (45 minutes)

A one-to-one session combining targeted stretching and strengthening exercises to improve posture and address muscular imbalances.

Ideal for: those experiencing back pain associated with poor posture who want to improve their alignment, stability and comfort.

The power of water: rehabilitation and exercise in thermal water

Warm thermal water provides a supportive environment for rehabilitation and exercise. Buoyancy reduces the impact of gravity and the load on the joints, making movement more comfortable.

7. Kinesitherapy in thermal water (45 minutes)

Guided exercises that combine the warmth and buoyancy of thermal water to support movement and reduce strain on the joints.

Ideal for: gentle rehabilitation and the gradual recovery of mobility and strength under professional supervision.
 

8. Personal training in thermal water (45 minutes)

One-to-one exercise sessions tailored to your abilities and personal goals. The water supports your body, allowing you to work on strength and flexibility with less strain on your joints.

Ideal for: those looking to improve muscle tone, stimulate metabolism, regain vitality and enhance flexibility through guided, low-impact exercise.
