The Method

The AELO method,
measured from start to finish.

Four steps, always in the same order. A baseline, a protocol in five movements, a journey adjusted day by day, and a log that shows what changed.

Point Zero

Point Zero is the baseline of wellbeing indicators recorded when a guest arrives. It is the reference from which the whole stay is measured. Nothing begins before it. The protocol that follows is personalised from this starting point, and the result at departure only has meaning against it.

Point Zero is not a medical examination. It records wellbeing indicators, never a diagnosis.

The Five Movements

The Five Movements are the five dimensions of regeneration that structure every AELO protocol. Each has its own technologies, and the protocol moves through them in an order set for the guest.

  • RecoveryDeep rest and cellular restoration. Among the technologies: the oxygen cabin and zero-gravity massage.
  • ThermalContrast and heat to activate circulation and restore balance. Among the technologies: infrared heat and the contrast capsule.
  • KineticAdaptive movement and precision strength, calibrated to the guest's baseline. Among the technologies: infrared training systems and muscle stimulation.
  • CryogenicWhole-body cold to reduce inflammation and speed recovery. Among the technologies: cryotherapy chambers and localised cold.
  • RegenerationLight, sound and energy to integrate the session and prepare what follows. Among the technologies: the red light bed and the AeloX capsule.

The Journey

The Journey is the sequence of sessions orchestrated day by day. The protocol is written at Point Zero, then adjusted to how the guest responds: a session moved, a movement repeated, an intensity lowered. Three days restore sleep and energy. Ten allow the deepest work. The guest's side of it is described in The Longevity Retreat.

The Longevity Log

The Longevity Log is the document handed to the guest at departure: the entry score, the exit score and the measured gap between them. It exists on paper and in digital form. The digital Log stays with the guest and continues on every return, so the second stay starts where the first one ended.

The example shown on this site, a three-day programme, moves a score from 42 to 68. It illustrates the format and promises nothing: each Log records what was measured for one guest.

What the method is not

It is not medicine. AELO works with wellbeing indicators, never with a diagnosis, and no medical act takes place in the hotel. Nothing in the method replaces medical advice.

It is not a menu either. A spa lets the guest choose treatments one at a time. The method sets the order of the sessions for each guest, and measures what the sequence produced.

What it gives a hotel

A stay that ends with a document is a stay the guest can show, compare and repeat. The Log gives the guest a personal reason to come back. It gives the hotel something its spa never had: a measured account of what a stay produced. The partnership behind it is set out in Longevity for Hotels.

Questions about the method

Is Point Zero a medical check-up?

No. Point Zero records wellbeing indicators on arrival. It is not a medical examination, it gives no diagnosis, and it does not replace medical advice.

What does the Longevity score measure?

A composite of wellbeing indicators, such as recovery, sleep quality and energy level. It is a wellbeing score, not a medical result.

Who keeps the Longevity Log?

The guest. The Log is handed over at departure, on paper and in digital form, and it continues on every return.
