Beneficial effects of the Kneipp walkway
The Kneipp walkway is a hydrotherapy treatment. Thanks to the combination of alternating hot and cold water (hydrotherapy) and treatment by moving on the pebbles (kinesiotherapy and acupressure), both circulation and the immune system are kick-started, the nervous system is relaxed and the feet benefit from increased circulation. While heat has a calming effect, cold has a stimulating effect and encourages an increase in internal bodily activity.
