Abstract Elderly people with osteoarticular disease (OAD) traditionally visit spas for cycles of treatment comprising mud therapy and balneotherapy. We believe that the thermal environment is a suitable place for providing rehabilitative and preventive treatment both in association with traditional spa therapy and as the sole means of treatment. The aim of this paper is to describe the advantages and possible developments of these integrated approaches to OAD in the elderly.
