VIVAMAYR Medical Health Resort Introduces a New Active Breath Programme
VIVAMAYR Medical Health Resort Maria Wörth has introduced a new medical treatment program, ‘Active Breath’, designed specifically for the treatment of respiratory and lung conditions. The program has been developed by VIVAMAYR’s expert medical department in direct response to global rising cases of respiratory diseases and long Covid.
The Active Breath program provides targeted therapies and treatment plans to best help individuals facing challenges with their lungs, such as shortness of breath or chest tightness. Like all VIVAMAYR treatment plans, Active Breath, is tailored as per each patient’s individual requirements, created by a physician following in-depth medical consultations. Example therapies include respiratory training, nasal reflex therapy, saline inhalations and yoga sessions.
Widely considered the birthplace of Modern Mayr Medicine, the approach to medical care at VIVAMAYR is rooted in the fundamental principles of healing, resting and cleansing the body, starting from the digestive system and microbiome. During the Active Breath program, VIVAMAYR’s integrated team of doctors, nutritionists and chefs develop a tailored menu for each patient to address their unique needs and complement their overall healing.
Dr. Werner Zancolo, Head Physician, commented: “Having witnessed the concerning global increase in respiratory issues, particularly since the pandemic, we felt it was the right time to introduce a treatment program dedicated entirely to respiratory health and breathwork. Over the past year, our Medical Department has developed a blueprint for treating respiratory diseases and challenges in a holistic way, with the aim of improving our patients’ overall quality of life and health”.
Located on the serene peninsula of Lake Wörthersee in the south of Austria, VIVAMAYR Medical Health Resort Maria Wörth is an apt place to focus on one’s respiratory health. The green landscape is the perfect stage for supplementary outdoor exercise, be it low intensity lakeside walks, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, or more challenging hikes in the hills.
The Active Breath program is a 7 day or longer treatment plan. The precise nature and number of therapies are defined by a VIVAMAYR doctor and tailored to each guest’s personal needs.
