Das Bad Peterstal can look back on a long tradition and experience with "Kneippen", a very popular kind of spa treatment in Germany. This hydrotherapy is named after Father Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897) who - in his day - had a suprisingly holistic approach to healing his patients. We are glad to see that Kneipp has become more and more popular again these days and have included Kneipp weeks in our offers.
Our spa and physiotherapy department is fully equipped for Kneipp treamtments and along with our other facilities we can offer you all five pillars of the Kneipp therapy:
- water treatments and water treading (hydrotherapy),
- physical movement and hardening (therapeutic exercise),
- wholefood (nutritional therapy),
- medicinal herbs (phytotherapy) and
- life style (regulative therapy).
Kneipp therapy is holistic and considers all areas of life. Our managing therapist along with the local Kneipp association will give you an introduction to these five pillars. You will learn what you can do at home for your own well-being in accordance with the teachings of Sebastian Kneipp.
We use water from our own sources for our spa treatments!
(Please note: We offer baths in tubs, we do not have a swimming pool.)
