Recently, the term “spa” has spread to indicate spas or in general companies that provide hydrotherapy or services in general health and body care. The term is derived directly from the Belgian town Spa, well known since ancient times for its mineral waters. Spa began to develop in the sixteenth century, when the reputation of its waters favored trade in the city. With the influx of English tourists who frequented spa since that century, the city’s name has become a generic term for hot springs, first in English and then in other languages.
However, several sources indicate a fanciful etymology of the term, such as the acronym for salus aquam, or a contraction of “expatriate”.
It certainly comes from the ancient Roman passion for the spa, all used by the Roman population, as a place of rest, socialization and well-being, and exported in all the areas they colonized.
Today, companies not only offer spa treatments spa, balneotherapy and hydrotherapy as well as a wide spectrum of services (such as massage, sauna, Turkish baths, etc.) for health and harmony of body and mind.
