This consists of a U shaped pool divided into two parts . The front part is slightly longer and is filled with hot thermal water where as the second is filled with cold water. To pass from the first to the second pool there are four steps but there is a hand rail all away round the circuit.

The client walks repetitively through both pools ( the length of the therapy depends on the doctor or physiotherapist's advice) with the end result being an improvement in the leg's circulation.
This treatment is highly effective for people who spend too much time standing still, or the opposite, people who spend too much time sitting down. It is especially indicated for swollen and "heavy" legs.

It works in several different ways; firstly the tonifying action on the capillaries due to the difference in temperature of the water, the natural massage that occurs due to the moviment in the water, the physiological foot massage while walking, the action of the hydromassages situated in the hot water pool and the general benefits of the thermal water.
Before using any of the therapeutic treatments the client must visit the doctor at Bormio Terme to check the indications and contraindications of the desired treatment.
