To grow old healthily – that is the wish of us all. Therefore, we must realise that we ourselves are responsible for our health and that we can actively work on our own health and well-being. Medical wellness is one of the trends that is successfully finding its way into Austrian hotels. Many hotels have become genuine centres of health and well-being. Why not? After all, a holiday is the best opportunity to change your lifestyle and take care of your health.
The many times internationally awarded Park Igls health retreat is located on a sunny plateau high above the Tyrolean capital of Innsbruck, Austria. It boasts world-class healthcare with state-of-the-art diagnostic methods and therapies. This private 4-star resort has been one of the world's leading medical spa resorts for many years. It became famous above all as the pioneer and centre of regenerative treatment using the method of Dr. F.X. Mayr.
For 30 years, the health retreat has been accompanying guests from all over the world on their way to a healthier lifestyle by combining conventional medicine with Modern Mayr Medicine. Modern Mayr Medicine is based on the traditional system created by the Austrian doctor, Franz Xaver Mayr, supplemented by the latest findings and procedures of contemporary medicine. However, experts here do not focus on combating symptoms, but on finding the real causes of health problems.
This is a very specific cleansing and regeneration cure, which is a natural way to preserve the health of the entire organism damaged by ubiquitous stress, the unfavourable environment in which we live, and especially unnatural eating habits. Thanks to Dr. Mayr's method, one can permanently improve the entire metabolic system. Weight reduction is also an accompanying and, for many, a pleasant side effect.
The stay begins with a thorough medical examination. Together with the doctor, the client draws up a therapy and procedure plan and an exercise programme. The hotel's kitchen, which according to Mayr has been created and adapted to new medical knowledge, offers light yet tasty meals. An individually prepared diet and exercise programme under the supervision of experienced trainers and physiotherapists, as well as the appropriate symbiosis of education and complementary medicine, will get guests in shape again! Modern Mayr Medicine focuses on prevention, as well as on clients suffering from metabolic disorders, sleep disorders, allergies, burn-out, food intolerances, high blood pressure, overweight and a whole host of other disorders. The hotel has a well-equipped gym. An extensive exercise programme is offered every day: yoga lessons, jogging, Nordic walking, cycling and golf. For regeneration, there is a large spa area with a swimming pool, saunas and pleasant rest rooms.
