Discover the benefits of Water Therapy

The benefits of water therapy have been renowned for centuries and here in the spa town of Buxton, our geothermal spring water has been long celebrated since the Romans developed a settlement in the town called Aquae Arnemetiae, meaning ‘the spa of the goddess of the grove.’

However, it wasn’t until the late 18th century when the Duke of Devonshire focused on the development of the town and Buxton soon became a tourist attraction for noble visitors, who were drawn to the healing properties of the therapeutic waters.

Today, visitors still flock to St Ann’s Well in Buxton to fill up their bottles and try and capture some of the health benefits of this mineral-packed geothermal spring water.

The health and beauty benefits of water therapy are renowned for its ability to relieve stress and one of the best ways to gain a little peace and quiet is to carve out some ‘me time’ each day and do something you enjoy in and around water.

Stepping into a warm bath filled with relaxing mineral salts, going for a swim or simply walking near water are all great ways to easily enjoy the calming effects of water, but for pure indulgence, head to the Devonshire Spa and discover the tranquil sanctuary of calm whilst experiencing a luxurious retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. By escaping to the Spa for a couple of hours, you can truly unwind and take advantage of the reviving thermal facilities which leave you feeling refreshed, renewed and ready to take on the world.

Research shows that people who regularly visit the spa experience mental and physical health benefits, and regular spa goers are said to enjoy a better night’s sleep, less sick days off work due to improved health and lower stress levels overall. Those who suffer with aches, pains, arthritis, fibromyalgia and other joint issues benefit hugely from a visit to the spa thanks to the heat created by the steam room and sauna together with the therapeutic hydrotherapy pool where jets of water massage and soothe sore muscles.

Water therapy is hugely beneficial if you’re looking to detox, lose weight and rid your body of harmful toxins. Spending time in the sauna and steam room is an ideal way to release excess fluids which can otherwise leave you feeling sluggish, bloated and with low energy.

The award-winning Devonshire Spa’s facilities include numerous ways for our customers to benefit from hydrotherapy. From the invigorating Steam Room to the opulence of a Monsoon Shower, or even the simplicity of relaxing whilst enjoying a soothing Reflexology Foot Bath, you are guaranteed to benefit from water therapy.
