Apparatus lymphatic drainage massage
Apparatus lymphatic drainage massage (pneumopressure, pressure therapy) is one of the methods of physiotherapy, the purpose of which is to remove fluid and metabolic products from the intercellular space and improve lymph circulation. The fact is that the lymphatic system is responsible for the removal from the body of the remains of decayed cells, microbes, viruses and toxins. Poor functioning of the lymph system leads to the fact that the wastes are not completely removed, they accumulate and the organism gradually becomes intoxicated. As a result of the procedure, the lymphatic pathways are cleared, the lymph circulates more actively and is evenly distributed in the body, toxins are eliminated from the body, which ultimately has a positive effect on the immune system. Before the procedure, it is recommended to drink water to maximize the relief of the removal of accumulated toxins from the body.

Applications with white mud
White mud has better heat retention properties than peat mud. Therefore, it is used when it is necessary to warm up the deep tissues of the body. Depending on the prescription of the doctor, the patient is fully or partially coated with heated medicinal mud and wrapped up for better heat retention. The skin absorbs microelements contained in white mud, blood circulation is activated, the inflammatory process is reduced, the body begins to sweat, slags are removed from the body through the skin pores. In addition, this procedure also has a cosmetic effect, since white mud, due to its density, has the property of “sticking” non-living cells of the epidermis and bacteria to itself and thus cleans and moisturizes the skin.

Body composition analysis
Body composition analysis on InBody device allows you to determine the volume of fat and fluid in the body, the ratio of muscle and bone mass, to analyse metabolism in no more than 5 minutes. The measurement is based on the electrical resistance of body tissues. A weak electrical charge is passed through the body, measuring the resistance, which gives an idea of the total water content of the body. Since water is mainly found in the blood, muscles, nerves and bones, the nonfat mass of the body is calculated through the water content, and then, through subtraction from the total body mass, the mass of the body fat.

Bromine mineral baths
Bromine is a biologically active substance and plays a huge role in the body, being present in various organs and tissues.

Carbon dioxide bath
Carbonic dioxide baths have a complex effect. This means that the patient’s body is experiencing: Firstly, the chemical effect due to the penetration of carbon dioxide into the blood through the skin, which has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. Secondly, the temperature effect (the so-called temperature massage), since the skin in a two-phase “water-gas” environment experiences different temperature effects: water, the temperature of which is 35-38 °C, and gas bubbles, the temperature of which is lower and may be 12–25 °C. Thirdly, physical or tactile impact due to gas bubbles, which, settling and escaping from the skin surface, cause a point-like massage effect.

Circular shower
Circular (Swiss) shower is a water procedure using a special device that is equipped with tubes for water supply in a vertical and horizontal position on all sides. Thin jets of water are fed under pressure and massage the body well from all sides. The circular shower is made with water heated to 35 °C and its temperature drops to 25 °C. The intensity of water pressure changes to allow the body to relax, and then raise the tone of the nervous system. The procedure eliminates irritability, relieves tension, helps with cellulite, as it stimulates the breakdown of body fat. Circular shower reduces joint pain, stimulates the cardiovascular system.

Short-term effects on the body of low temperatures activates the adaptation resources of the body, increases resistance to stress, inhibits inflammation, reduces swelling, improves motor functions. In cryotherapy, 3 methods are used: labile - cooling a large surface of the body in the so-called cryosauna, stable - deep rapid cooling of a limited surface (for example, a joint) using a special apparatus and a combined - combining the first two.

Darsonvalization
Darsonvalization - the impact of pulsed alternating current of high frequency (110 and 440 kHz), high voltage (20 kV) and low power (0.02 mA). With a total darsonvalization, horizontal eddy currents occur in the tissues, causing various physiological reactions: slowing blood clotting, lowering blood pressure, normalizing the tone of the blood vessels of the brain. Blood circulation, metabolism, and immune responses are improved. The general effect on the body also occurs - blood pressure is reduced, a calming effect is achieved.

Diet therapy (health food)
Diet therapy is a therapeutic method consisting in the treatment of various diseases with a special diet; the same as medical nutrition. Diet therapy is the use of nutrition for the treatment of various diseases. The basis of diet therapy is the theory of balanced nutrition. The influence of clinical nutrition is determined by the qualitative and quantitative composition of food (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, microelements, etc.), its calorific value, physical properties (volume, temperature, texture), diet (eating hours, food distribution during days, the frequency of receptions), the therapeutic effect of individual products. Medical nutrition is prescribed in the form of special diets (therapeutic diets / tables), taking into account the pathogenesis of the disease, the characteristics of the course of the main and associated diseases in a patient. Diet therapy is strictly consistent with the overall treatment plan. Sometimes dietotherapy is the main method of treatment, sometimes it serves as an obligatory therapeutic background against which all other, including specific, therapy is applied.
