Carbon dioxide bath
A mineral water bath (water temperature 33-35°C) saturated with natural carbon dioxide which increases local and total blood circulation, reduces blood pressure and accelerates mental relaxation. A 10 min. pack follows after the bath.
Solution baths (Calmonal, peloid)
Solution baths positively influence locomotor apparatus, sooth muscle stretch and have analgetic effects. A 7 min. pack follows after iodine and peloid baths. Solution baths are especially suitable to treat post-operative and traumatogenic states or degenerative diseases of joints and spine. They have anti-stress and relaxing effect as well.
Scottish jet showers
Alternating application of the hot and cold water by a jet. It improves blood circulation and activates the metabolism. Scottish jet showers are especially suitable to treat obesity, vegetative and hormone diseases and increase physical and psychical resistance.
Whirpool bath
Jets massage different parts of the body immersed into the mineral water bath. It improves blood circulation, alleviates pains in the locomotor apparatus (in joints and spine) and has relaxing effects as well.
Leg whirpool bath
An underwater massage by small water jets located in the hip-bath. It improves blood circulation and activates the metabolism. It is an excellent way to train blood circulation and brings easement to legs.
2. Massages:
Underwater massage
A very pleasant procedure – water jets directed at specific parts of the body combine the beneficial effects of heat, bath, massage, active and passive movenent in the water. It increases muscle mobility.

Reflexive massage
It is a specialised therapy to treat and remove unhealthy reflexive changes in locomotive system segments. It has beneficial effect on reflexive changes caused by diseases of the internal organs, locomotive system and neurovegetative disorders.
3. Electrotherapy:
Laser, Scanner
Both machines producing a ray of light of specific wave length. A theraupetic laser accelerates healing and eliminates phlogistic processes in the body.
Phyaction
A machine suitable for treatment of chronic diseases of joints and spine, traumatogenic and post-operative states of joints and spine.
Magnetotherapy
Electromagnetic field treatment has a large spectrum for chronic and acute locomotor apparatus disorders, traumatogenic states and blood circulation disorders. It reduces pains and accelerates the healing process.
Biolamp
It improves blood circulation, alleviates pains, has antiphlogistic effects and accelarates healing processes in the body (e.g. healing of scars). It is used to treat skin diseases – herpes, acne, eczema, venous ulceration etc.
Solux
Local use of heat from an infrared lamp. It helps to treat chronic inflammation of tendons, muscles, joints, arthritis.
Quartz lamp
Ultraviolet radiation helps to treat skin diseases (acne or psoriasis) and influences positively low efficiency of the organism, tiredness, anemia, nasal alergy or asthma.
Endovaco + BTL-06
A treatment by low-frequency and medium low-frequency currents. Both procedures help to improve myalgia, neuralgia, swellings, alleviate pains and disorders of locomotor apparatus and are often used in post-operative care.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound has mechanical, chemical, thermic and biological effects and acts analgesic and spasmolytic. It is used to treat phlogistic and degenerative diseases of joints and spine, tenontitis.
4. Gymnastic and swimming:
Individual gymnastics
Individual exercise sessions led by a trained physiotherapist – specially tailored for those with locomotive or nervous systems disorders and with incorrect locomotive habits.
Group gymnastics
Exercise sessions in the group (max. 10 clients) led by a trained physiotherapist.
Swimming
Relaxing effects of the thermal water and movevent in the pool are used to treat disorders of the locomotor apparatus, neurological diseases, post-operative and traumatogenic states of joints, spine and muscles. Ionic composition of the water positively influences the skin and balances its pH. The swimming has relaxing and anti-stress effects as well.
Gymnastics in the pool
It combines benefits of exercises and thermal water. Hydrostatic press, heat and water pressure are used to treat disorders of locomotor apparatus, post-operative and traumatogenic states.
Nordic walking
Walking with special sticks improving the body-control and physical condition.
5. Other procedures:
Peloid applications
Pockets with hot peat are applied to involved parts of the body. Peat slowly passes heat to human body. Peat compress is used against illnesses of the locomotive system and some digestive system disorders.
Paraffin - hands
After being plunged several times into a mixture of melted paraffin and paraffin oil, the hands are wrapped in a plastic bag and special gloves which keep the heat. This procedure is suitable for chronic and degenerative disorders of small joints and softens the skin on the hands.
Inhalation

Dry carbon dioxide bath
Application of carbon dioxide in a plastic bag. Gas is absorbed through the skin to improve blood circulation in the body (first of all in the brain, heart and legs).
Oxygenotherapy
Oxygen inhalation session is combined with a taking of vitamins. The procedure improves blood circulation, concentration, chronic and temporary respiratory disorders and regenerates the organism. It alleviates headaches and tiredness. It has anti-ageing effects.
Pneumopuncture

Sauna
A variety of applications to facilitate regeneration and relaxation of the whole body. The cardiovascular system is trained very effectively.
Hydrocolon
Irrigation of the large intestines by tepid water. It causes defecation and leads to detoxication of the organism. It is used to treat obstipation, chronic skin diseases (acne, psoriasis) and to activate immune system.
