Foot reflexology massage – increase well-being

The positive effects of a foot reflexology massage lie in the treatment of mental and physical pain by massaging pressure points on the feet. Arthur Schlatter teaches you during a workshop how to get rid of your pains and blockages completely painless and increase your well-being. Workshops take place hourly from 16:00 to 20:00.

Getting the circulation going with Kneipp

The method of Kneipp has the advantage of loosening muscles, promoting circulation, relaxing you physically and mentally, strengthening your defences and allowing you to release happy hormones. With the help of an alternating foot bath between the cold Engadine well water and the warm herbal bath, Arthur Schlatter shows you how to use the Kneipp method.
