SCOTTISH WHIP
Action: anti-cellulite, regenerative muscle massage, stimulation of circulation, oxygenation of tissues, regenerative effect on the skin, increases metabolism.
ELECTROTHERAPY – diadynamic therapy, TENS, interdyn, galvanization, iontophoresis, electrostimulation.
Operation: depends on the type of current used.
Examples of the effects of currents: analgesic effect, anti-inflammatory effect, treatment of flaccid paralysis, treatment of circulatory disorders, reduction of nerve excitability, degenerative joint diseases.
SHORTWAVE DIATHERMY
Action: warming, relaxing, pain relief, improved blood circulation and tissue function, reduction of inflammation, increased absorption of inflammatory exudate.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Action: prevention of venous thrombosis, prevention of chronic venous insufficiency, treatment of lymphatic insufficiency, edema of the limbs of various etiologies, edema of the upper limbs after mastectomy, weight loss support, anti-cellulite therapy.
Fango and mud wraps, mud baths
Action: Causes overheating of the skin and deeper tissues, which reduces pain, improves circulation, improves tissue nutrition, improves metabolism, relaxes muscles, and has a relaxing effect.
Organic substances contained in mud – humic acids, proteins, enzymes, estrogens, and bituminous compounds – regenerate damaged tissues, increase their blood supply, and activate reactions that cause an increase in cellular metabolism.
They also have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Mud also contains very small amounts of hormones: progesterone, estradiol, estriol, testosterone, and cortisol.
GYMNASTICS
Individual gymnastics (UGUL), group gymnastics (spinal disorders, respiratory disorders, cardiovascular disorders), exercises on equipment, gymnastics in the pool.
Action: Increased muscle strength, improved range of motion, improved deep sensation, reduced pain, improved flexibility and soft tissue tone, reduced muscle tension, improved cardiovascular and respiratory efficiency, increase synovial fluid secretion, increase or decrease blood pressure, intensify metabolic processes, improve the functioning of the digestive and excretory systems, and inhibit pathological reflexes.
HYDROMASSAGE
Action: Makes the skin more elastic and firm, removes fatigue, regenerates strength, activates internal metabolic processes, has a toning effect on the nervous system and a beneficial effect on the psyche, dilates blood vessels causing faster blood circulation, stimulates the secretion of endorphins, relieves back and joint pain.
It alleviates some of the symptoms of diabetes, treats migraines and insomnia, relieves pain caused by torn tendons, sprains, and excessive muscle strain, and accelerates muscle recovery after strenuous workouts.
INHALATIONS
Action: Moisturizes the respiratory tract, accelerates epithelial regeneration, thins thickened and sticky respiratory tract mucus, reduces inflammatory swelling of the mucous membrane, relieves bronchial smooth muscle spasms, and eliminates respiratory tract infections.
CARBONIC ACID BATH, DRY CO2 BATH
Action: Improves circulation by dilating capillaries, increases coronary blood flow, increases blood return to the heart, thereby increasing cardiac output. It slows down the heart rate and increases pulmonary ventilation, lowers blood pressure, reduces the amount of metabolic products in the blood, and increases free fatty acids, thereby lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and increasing oxygen content in the blood, which improves tissue perfusion, calms and relaxes.
PEARL BATH
Action: Improves blood circulation and strengthens the immune system, supports the treatment of skin inflammation, regulates blood pressure, reduces blood circulation disorders, accelerates metabolism, counteracts constipation and flatulence, calms and relaxes, treats insomnia, reduces muscle tension.
BRINE BATH
Action: Dilates blood vessels in the skin, strengthens the skin and makes it resistant to allergic factors, reduces infiltrates, hematomas, and swelling, loosens and softens the epidermis, has an analgesic and relaxing effect on muscles, relaxes and nourishes the skin. It is used in degenerative joint diseases.
LASER THERAPY
Action: Analgesic, anti-inflammatory, delays skin aging processes, accelerates wound healing, treats swelling, hematomas, and hemorrhages, strengthens the immune system.
MAGNETIC THERAPY
Action: Relieves pain, stimulates circulation, oxygenates cells, reduces swelling and inflammation, lowers blood pressure, strengthens the body's immunity, supports tissue regeneration (including bone and skin tissue), stimulates metabolism.
CLASSIC MASSAGE
Action: Dilates blood and lymph vessels, accelerates blood flow through muscles, relaxes muscles, improves the supply of nutrients and the excretion of metabolic waste products, increases oxygen supply to muscle cells, intensifies blood flow through the body, has an analgesic effect, stimulates the nervous system, which influences individual organs and systems of the body through reflexes, stimulates the cerebral cortex, causing the release of hormones such as histamine, acetylcholine, and adrenaline.
UNDERWATER MASSAGE
Action: It acts on tissues in a manner comparable to classic massage, increasing blood flow and lymph circulation. but its power is greater because of the thermal and hydrostatic effects of the full bath, which relaxes the muscles thanks to the deep action of the water jet, stimulates tissue metabolism and trophism, calms the psycho-vegetative system, and reduces pain.
WHIRLPOOL MASSAGE FOR ARMS AND LEGS
Action: Thanks to the temperature and movement of the water, it reduces venous stasis, decreases muscle tension, and alleviates pain. It is used in cases of limb immobilization, atherosclerosis, post-thrombotic phlebitis, and degenerative joint diseases.
FLOOD SPRAY
Effect: Calming, relaxing, strengthening. Treatments using shower jets are recommended for neurosis, insomnia, and neuralgia.
SOLLUX LAMP
Effect: Depending on the color of the filter used, it has a stimulating, anti-inflammatory, toning, calming, and analgesic effect.
RADIAL SHOCK WAVE THERAPY
Effect: In most cases, it causes the disintegration of calcium deposits, while in others it has a stimulating effect, primarily analgesic. The effectiveness of the treatment is very high (80-90%). Considering that for many patients, especially those with periarthritis and heel spurs, surgery is the alternative, the use of shock waves is highly effective.
ULTRASOUND
Action: Analgesic, reduces muscle tension, causes the formation of biologically active compounds, affects body enzymes, dilates blood vessels, inhibits inflammatory processes, accelerates tissue absorption, releases histamine-like substances. Most commonly used in the treatment of heel spurs, trigeminal neuralgia, degenerative joint diseases, pain syndromes: sciatica, elbow, shoulder, back, and lower back pain.
