Our therapeutic spa and physiotherapy centre is unique to Australia. It uses mineral baths and treatments more commonly used in the USA, Canada and Europe.
Balneotherapy - spa treatments for good health
In Europe, people have been flocking to therapeutic baths since well before the time of the Romans. Today, health resorts across the continent - from France to Bulgaria - specialise in treating and preventing various ailments by using thermal mineral spas. This is known as balneotherapy.
While balneotherapy has caught on in other parts of the world in recent years, most notably the USA and Canada, up until now opportunities in Australia have been fairly limited. To bridge this gap Health Point Physiotherapy has established balneotherapy facilities in Melbourne.
Advantages of our spa treatments
Our various spa treatments are prescribed by qualified physiotherapists, which means they can be tailored to your specific health needs for the best results. Balneotherapy treatments are considered to be a physiotherapy treatment and, as such, are claimable through your private health insurance.
Spa treatments are usually prescribed in combination with other therapeutic approaches, such as individual exercise programs, clinical pilates sessions, SCENAR blanket therapy, electrotherapy, diet advice, detoxification programs, regular health assessments, and other procedures. This means our friendly and professional physiotherapists can help you reach your health goals faster and more effectively.
Some conditions treated using balneotherapy include...
- Back pain
- Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Dermatitis
- Psoriasis
- Chronic prostatitis
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Hypertension
- Ischemic heart disease
- Varicose veins
- Metabolic disorders
Maintaining health programs
Disease prevention and treatment is the first step in establishing a healthy lifestyle. After you have overcome your existing health problems - or if you do not have any health issues at all - you should aim to reach and then maintain your physical and emotional wellbeing at its best possible level. Our spa therapy in combination with other treatment options is your way to a healthy lifestyle.
Incorrect diet, stress, lack of physical activity, environmental influences and other factors can affect your health. Our special health programs incorporating spa therapies and other options can help to:
- Improve your balance and coordination
- Reshape your figure

Weight management programs
Maintaining normal weight is another integral aspect of a healthy lifestyle, as being overweight can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and many other health problems. The effect of spa treatments on weight reduction is justified by lots of clinical trials and observations that have been extensively published in various peer-reviewed journals.
Our spa procedures, in combination with other treatments offered by Health Point Physiotherapy, are effective in helping you reach a healthy weight. This is achieved thanks to improved metabolism, detoxification processes, better energy balance, physical endurance, and other aspects of weight control.
Burn your fat, build the muscles, improve your figure now - by using our specifically designed weight management program based on the combination of the following powerful approaches:
- Balneotherapy treatment
- Clinical Pilates
- Diet advice
- Detoxifying cocktails
Women's health
Our procedures are efficient in treating pelvic inflammatory disease, dysmenorrhoea, mastitis and other health problems. The process can also improve skin conditions, control weight, and maintain a good figure.
Our treatment combinations are also very beneficial during and after pregnancy. They help develop stronger abdominal muscles, lead to better calcium absorption, and other health improvements. This can help ease the delivery process, prevent scoliosis and osteoporosis, and restore your figure.
