Rocco Forte unveils Vita Health wellness concept

Rocco Forte Hotels has unveiled Vita Health - a new approach to preventative health, in partnership with integrated medicine physician Dr Nyjon Eccles.

The new concept will be made available later this month (September) at Rocco Forte's Verdura Golf and Spa Resort in Sicily, Italy, and will be the first time Eccles' treatments will be combined with a resort stay.

Vita Health Wellness Centre will be located within the resort's 4,000sq m Verdura Spa and will feature four individually-tailored programmes, with Eccles specialising in nutritional, non-invasive and anti-ageing medicine.

The programmes will be offered in one- and two-week sessions and will focus on core health issues - stress management; detoxification; weight loss; and better ageing.

Each bespoke programme combines advanced natural therapies, with a specific diet and exercise plan, thereby improving and correcting current health issues while reducing future health risks.

The experience involves detailed testing in order to gain a complete picture of the guest's health as well as optimising results.

The non-invasive tests are aimed at detecting early imbalances, with an emphasis on understanding how best to approach particular health issues - such as identifying if an individual is lacking in key nutrients and hormones that may be compromising their health.

Sir Rocco Forte, chair and CEO of Rocco Forte Hotels, is a long-time advocate of Dr Eccles' "Renaissance" medical programmes.

Sir Rocco said: "We have recognised this emerging trend and this has led us to develop our Vita Health programmes in conjunction with Dr Eccles to enable us to respond to the growing demand for preventative health care.

"For many years I have been a keen follower of the treatments now perfected for our new Vita Health Wellness Centre."

As part of the partnership, Dr Eccles has been named Vita Health medical director. Eccles said: "All our health treatment programmes at Vita Health are based on integrative medicine.

"Both the pre-arrival and arrival diagnostic tests you undergo and the natural treatment therapies prescribed for you are grounded in medical thought combined with the most advanced natural medicine.

"Each treatment has a medical reasoning; each supplement is for a specific purpose; each test is taken so we can find out as much about you as possible."
