SCOTCH DOUCHE
Effects: anti cellulite, regenerative muscle massage, stimulation of circulation, oxygenation of tissues, skin regeneration, metabolism improvement.
ELECTROTHERAPY – diadynamic, tens, interdyn, galvanization, ionophoresis, electrostimulation.
Effects: depending on the kind of current applied.
Example effects of currents: pain relief, prevents inflammation, therapy of flaccid para lysis, therapy of circulation disorders, reduction of responsiveness of nerves, degenerative joints diseases.
SHORTWAVE DIATHERMY
Effects: heating, relaxing, pain relief, improvement of blood flow and activities of tissues, reduction of inflammatory conditions, increased absorption of inflammatory effusion.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Effects: prevention of venous thrombosis, prevention of chronic venous insufficiency, treatment of lymphatic insufficiency, limb swelling of various etiology, swelling of upper limbs after mastectomy, weight loss reinforcement, anti-cellulite therapy.
FANGO MUD AND PEAT COMPRESSES, PEAT BATHS
Effects: Causes overheating of the skin and deeper situated tissues which results in pain relief, improved circulation, better nutrition of tissues and their improved metabolism, loosening the muscles, and relaxing.
Organic substances contained in the peat – humic acids, proteins, enzymes, estrogens, and bitumen compounds regenerate damaged tissues – improve blood supply and activate reactions resulting in increased cellular metabolism.
They are also characterized by antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal effects. The peat also contains some hormones like progesterone, estradiol, estriol, testosterone and cortisol.
GYMNASTICS
– Individual gimnastics (UTC), collective gymnastics (backbone disorders, respiratory system disorders, circulatory system disorders), exercises with equipment, gymnastics in the swimming pool.
Effects: Increased muscle force, improved movement range, improved proprioception, pain relief, improved flexibility and tension of soft tissues, reduction of increased tonus, improved circular and respiratory efficiency, increased secretion of synvial fluid, increase or reduction of blood pressure, intensification of metabolism, improved functioning of digestive and excretory systems, inhibition of pathological reflexes.
WATER MASSAGE
Effects: Improved flexibility and firmness of skin, fatigue removal, energy regeneration, activation of internal metabolic processes, toning the nerve system with positive effect upon psyche, widening of blood vessels resulting in faster blood circulation, stimulation of secretion of endorphins, back and joints pain relief.
It eases some symptoms of diabetes, cures migraine and insomnia, attenuates discomfort caused by tendon tearing, dislocations, excessive muscle stress, accelerating their regeneration after tiring training.
INHALATION
Effects: Humidification of respiratory tract, acceleration of epithelium regeneration, thinning of thickened and viscous excretion of the mucous membranes in respiratory tract, reduction of inflammation swelling of mucous membrane, liquidation of bronchial smooth muscles contraction, liquidation of respiratory tract infections.
CARBONIC ACID BATH, DRY BATH IN CO2
Effects: Carbonic acid baths improves circulation by dilation of capillary vessels, increases coronary flow, and increases blood return to the heart resulting in increased stroke volume. This slows down the heart rate and increases lung ventilation reduces arterial blood pressure, and the amount of metabolism products in the blood, increasing at the same time the amount of free fatty acids which results in the reduction of bad cholesterol (LDL) level. The amount of oxygen in the blood is increased resulting in better blood supply to the tissues. Relaxing and appeasing.
PEARL BATH
Effects: Pearl bath improves blood supply and reinforces the immune system. It aids treatment of inflammatory skin conditions, regulates blood pressure, reduces blood supply disorders, accelerates metabolism, prevents constipation and bloat, appeases and relaxes, cures insomnia, reduces muscle tension.
BRINE BATH
Effects: The treatment dilates skin blood vessels, strengthens the skin and makes it immune to allergens, reduces infiltrations, heamatoma, and swelling. The epidermis becomes loosened and softened. The bath has analgesic and loosening effect upon muscles, relaxes and nurtures the skin. It is applied in degenerative joints disease.
LASER THERAPY
Effects: Analgesic, anti-inflammatory, delay of skin ageing processes, acceleration of wound healing, treatments of swelling, hematoma and strokes, reinforcement of the immune system.
MAGNETOTHERAPY
Effects: Pain relief, stimulation of circulation, oxygenation of cells, anti-swelling and anti-inflammatory, reduces blood pressure, increases immunity of the organism, supports regeneration of tissues (including bone tissue and skin), stimulates metabolism.
CLASSICAL MASSAGE
Effects: The treatment dilates blood and lymphatic vessels, accelerates blood flow through muscles, loosens the muscles, improves nutrients transport and excretion of metabolism waste, increases oxygen supply to muscle tissues, intensifies blood flow in the body, produces pain relief effect, stimulates the nerve system which influences individual organs and systems of our organism by means of reflexes and stimulates the cortex which results in releasing of such hormones as: histamine, acetylcholine or adrenaline.
UNDERWATER MASSAGE
Effects: The treatment affects the tissues like classical massage, causing improved blood supply and lymph circulation, but it is stronger since it is enhanced with thermal and hydrostatic effects of full bath which leads to loosening the muscles caused by deep action of the water jet, it stimulates tissue metabolism and trphism, brings psychological and vegetative relaxation, and eases pain.
WHIRLPOOL MASSAGE OF LEGS AND ARMS
Effects: Due to the temperature and water movement, the treatment results in reduction of venous stasis, reduction of muscle tension, and reduction of pain. It is applied in conditions following immobilization of limbs, in arteriosclerosis, after vein thrombophlebitis, in degenerative joints diseases.
SWISS CASCADE SHOWER
Effects: Appeasing, relaxing, toughening. Swiss cascade shower treatment is recommended for neuroses, insomnia, and neuralgia.
SOLLUX LAMP
Effects: Depending on the color of the filter used, it can act stimulating, anti-inflammatory or toning, relaxing and analgesic.
RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
Effects: In most cases, the treatment results in disintegration of calcium deposits, and in others – it has stimulating effects, mostly analgesic. The effectiveness of the treatment is very high (80-90%). Considering that for many patients, especially those with shoulder calcification and calcaneal spur, a surgical operation is the alternative, the application of the shockwave is highly effective.
ULTRASOUNDS
Effects: Analgesic, reduces muscle tension, stimulates creation of biologically active compounds, affects body enzymes, dilation of blood vessels, inhibition of inflammation processes, acceleration of absorption by tissues, release histamine-like substances. It is the most often used in treatment of calcaneal spur, in trigeminal nerve neuralgia, in degenerative joints diseases, in pain syndromes: ischialgia, elbow pain, shoulder pain, back pain, lower back pain.
