Cancer, migraines, high blood pressure among conditions addressed in new Chiva-Som retreats

By Jane Kitchen    29 Jan 2016
Chiva-Som said it has a 'continued commitment to offering every guest a key to transformation through experiential learning'

Wellness destination Chiva-Som has launched five new retreats designed to address specific health issues. The programmes support treatment of specific conditions including cancer, migraines and high blood pressure, as well as assisting in the management of stress and excess body weight.

The addition of these five new programmes brings the total number of treatments with specific health objectives to 13 at the 21-year-old resort.

The new retreats have been developed in response to patterns in the requirements of guests, with increasing numbers looking for support for these conditions, the company said. Guests must book a minimum of 10 nights at Chiva-Som to take advantage of the new retreats.

In creating the retreats, Chiva-Som’s health and wellness team takes into account the latest research and a review of the most effective programmes and treatments, the company said.

The Cell Vitality programme is for guests who have recovered or are in remission from cancer, and is fine-tuned by wellness experts for each individual. It combines a selection of nurturing and non-invasive treatments with a gentle exercise programme designed to promote physical and mental wellness and sustain cellular health, as well as a dietary plan designed to stimulate the appetite.

Cranial Relief is a dedicated retreat for guests who suffer from migraines and life-disrupting headaches. the programme combines holistic and physiotherapy treatments – including meditation – to promote balance and stability; specific exercises that promote craniofacial muscle relaxation; and a dietary plan of fresh, organic and nutrient-rich foods.

Emotional Wellbeing was created for guests who feel over-stressed or lack energy, and is designed to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit. A holistic approach includes acupuncture, mind and body therapy and functional exercises, combined with coaching in healthy eating, regular fitness and a stable sleeping pattern to equip guests with the tools to control stress, mood and overall wellbeing.

Tension Release is designed to help guests who suffer from high blood pressure regain a restorative balance in life. Through nutritional consultation, they will discover simple steps to controlling salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight and using dietary supplements to support cardiovascular health. Personalised fitness activities are also used to help enhance energy and reduce weakness and fatigue.

Sustainable Slimming aims to help guests lose weight and begin a journey towards a healthier lifestyle. The retreat includes a comprehensive programme of physical activities to help reduce body fat, and is supported by Chiva-Som’s culinary team, while physiotherapists work to correct posture and increase flexibility.

Chiva-Som said it has a “continued commitment to offering every guest a key to transformation through experiential learning, to ensure lasting inspiration that will help them maintain positive changes as part of their lifestyle.”

The resort also recently upgraded many of its rooms in a redesign of the hotel, and was recognised for its corporate social responsibilities.
