Have you ever felt like you need a vacation following you’ve taken a vacation? What if a getaway here, a ‘trekking’ there, excursions, nights out… Perhaps you can consider ‘wellness’ tourism as the main framework for your next getaway. Wellness trips are essentially a way of personal care: Involves intentionally disconnecting from life’s stressors to recharge your batteries and to keep health and peace of mind in mind so you can return to daily life feeling refreshed and energized.
He wellness tourism it looks different for each individual. Some travelers can enroll in a yoga and meditation retreat, stay in hotels with hot springs and spas, or even camp in any area designated for walking and connecting with nature. The options are diverse, and there is always one for all kinds of needs.
programs that work
With the intention of offering a space focused exclusively on self-care, Palasiet was born, a hotel and clinic with more than fifty years of experience offering help to its guests to have a healthier life. Its main pillars are five: nutrition and weight loss, medical treatments, physical exercises, thalassotherapy and mental balance, and all of them are interrelated.
What does it consist of? The hotel experts tell ABC Bienestar that at the time of booking the guest decides on one of the programs available and from the clinic they get in touch later to find out what objectives they have and explain more regarding the program they have chosen. “A program can be adjusted depending on what is necessary,” say the Palasiet experts, thus confirming that the treatment is personal and always in line with what each patient requires.
Its clients, whose ages range from 45 to 70 years, -although, according to what they say, there are more and more young people who have changed their philosophy and want a vacation that contributes-, look to the hotel for the change they need. The peace and tranquility that is breathed in each of the rooms is something that one finds when arriving there, but there is no doubt that you leave with another energy.
“In principle our star program is weight loss or anti-stress program, but since we are not a typical hotel, but a wellness clinic, we know that everything is interrelated, we group the treatments to obtain a well-being goal, not just weight loss. Therefore, we take into account sports treatment or emotional accompaniment,” explains Irene Domínguez, food technologist and head of the nutrition department at Thalasso-Clinic Palasiet.
Nutrition and weight loss
They don’t like diets because there are less restrictive methods that do guarantee great and long-lasting results. Palasiet’s ‘Weight Loss’ program, with which you can enjoy eating rich and well, without going hungry!, is a healthy weight loss plan (among many other things) with medical monitoring and coaching, which guarantees results from seven day stay.
The diet that is followed is Mediterranean, and in the hotel there are vegetarian and light tango proposals, all perfectly indicated in each letter so that it is known in what type of diet said dish is included.
Irene Domínguez comments that “in consultation they come in asking how much weight they are going to lose, and I tell them to forget the number because that will depend on what their body allows us, which will depend in turn on your involvement in the stay and how eat at home followingwards.” But what really matters is not how they enter the clinic but how they leave: «They leave with a light at the end of the tunnel. That is where they have put the focus and they not only care regarding losing weight but they think regarding eating to be well nourished, not just to lose weight. We look for a positive contribution and that it is not seen only as a diet »
For the expert, you can eat in an attractive and healthy way: “We also do courses on healthy cooking, nutrition… and everything so that this information can be taken home and can be carried out not only here.”
The weight loss program, tailored to each individual, is recommended to last at least ten days.
Physical exercise
Physical exercise is of vital importance at Palasiet. For the experts, any program should be linked to it. And it is that in addition to getting in shape and helping you with other goals, training helps the mind. At the clinic they propose a planned and structured training towards personalized objectives and always suitable for each guest. The gym is fully equipped with state-of-the-art machines that help improve flexibility, strength, balance, coordination… In addition, yoga and Pilates classes are taught, the latter highly recommended since the instructor helps you make movements that you thought that you mightn’t do.
Emotional balance
From time to time it is convenient to ‘reset’ and give yourself a good dose of self-care, which is what makes stress of any kind heal: work, social… In Palasiet they have the Anti-stress and Relaxation program, where they teach identify objectives, remove barriers and determine changes in acceptable steps. The experts accompany the process and provide the necessary techniques to manage stress, relax, do yoga, meditation, talks with specialists…
«For our mental body, it helps a lot to practice activities such as mindfulness, yoga, relaxation techniques or guided breathing. Neuroscience explains how these activities help to reduce the activity of our amygdala and, therefore, our reactive responses are reduced and the activity of the prefrontal cortex increases from where we can respond in a more leisurely and conscious way, gaining peace and mental clarity. », says Lourdes Ramón, head of the department. orientation of Palasiet Thalasso Clinic & Hotel.
The expert clarifies that it is not regarding disconnecting but quite the opposite: reconnecting with ourselves, looking at ourselves once more, seeing each other with kindness, listening to each other and learning to feel ourselves.
Medical treatments
A clinic where self-care is the most important thing cannot lack the most innovative equipment on the market. And in this case, it has them all: pressotherapy, radiofrequency, ultrasound, magnetotherapy, electrostimulation… The hydromassage bath, the localized detox body treatment and the marine thermal massage are, without a doubt, three of the best treatments that offer.
In addition, they have all kinds of body and facial aesthetic methods, as well as electromedicine and yin yang seaweed plasters, among others.
thalassotherapy
Palasiet is a pioneer in thalassotherapy, so it is present in numerous treatments and circuits. Improves rheumatic conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia; it also improves contractures, neck and back pain and other injuries. In addition, it reduces pain and discomfort, strengthens the body, helps to exercise comfortably and effectively, and therefore helps to improve physical condition.
But the water used for the treatments is not salt water, but sea water that is filtered so that you can also exercise in the water. «We work with body temperature in assisted therapies and it floats a lot, so in addition to the benefits for the skin and bones due to the contribution of minerals and trace elements, the fact of training at body temperature increases salinity and it costs you much more to move, so the rehab is great.
The thalassotherapy It is transversal in all its programs. They have guaranteed contact with seawater in saunas or hydromassage baths, as well as with marine mud, algae and its benefits for the skin, seawater jets and a series of treatments that will appear on any programme. «The results have been confirmed for many years. Before, it focused especially on rehabilitation and dermatological or rheumatological programs and now it is seen from a broader point of view. Overall, between food, treatments and the benefits of seawater is when you are resurrected. This achieves muscle relaxation, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect”, says Laura Bellés, coordinator of Palasiet Thalasso Clinic & Hotel.
