Unique Healing Treatments at the Slovak Health Spa
With a long tradition of unique therapies and an acclaimed international reputation, The Slovak Health Spa Piestany is hailed as the most outstanding Slovak spa for the treatment of diseases of locomotive organs, organic nervous disorders, post-injury and orthopaedic operations. It is the foremost anti-rheumatic spa of Europe, known for its excellent medical care and treatment results.
The complex treatments, therapeutic methods and principles presented in Piestany are so unique that it is rare to find many, if any, other spas using such healing therapies.
What makes this location so individual in the spa sector is that Piestany Spa utilises the natural therapeutical properties of the area’s thermal gypseous sulphide waters.
It is supposed that Roman soldiers discovered the healing springs at Piestany as far back as two thousand years ago.While there is no evidence of this, it is known that Roman legions commanded by Marcus Aurelius were moving about this territory and building military camps at that time. Nevertheless, traces of human presence in this region reach back much further. Discoveries of ancient settlements bear witness to human presence in the Stone Age.
The hydrogen-sulphide water at Piestany rises from tectonic fractures in the ground at a depth of 2,000 metres. The temperature at the source is 67¡C to 69¡C. The measured composition of the water has not varied during the modern age. This hypotonic thermal water of a sulphate-carbonic, calcium-sodium and sulphurous nature contains approximately 1,500 mg of mineral matter per litre.
