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.

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.

Diathermy
Diathermy is a method of physiotherapy, which consists in exposing parts of a patient's body to a continuous or pulsed electric field of high or ultrahigh frequency. The procedure is absolutely painless. Electrical energy is converted into body tissue into heat, which leads to the expansion of capillaries, increased blood circulation and lymph outflow in the affected tissues, reduction of pain, which is caused by edematous processes. Diathermy stimulates the regenerative processes in the tissues, which makes it possible to apply this procedure at various stages of the inflammatory process. When the patient is exposed to the abdominal area, the increased muscle tone of the intestine, gallbladder and biliary tract is reduced. In patients with reduced secretion of the stomach, the secretion of gastric juice increases, while with increased secretion it decreases. In chronic inflammation of the kidneys, diathermy normalizes the dynamics of urination and restores kidney function. In general, the versatility of the therapeutic effect of diathermy determines the broad indications for the purpose of this procedure. Diathermy is indicated in inflammatory processes of any localization. Contraindications: purulent processes in the lungs, female genital organs, diabetic retinopathy, bleeding tendency, malignant tumors, myocardial infarction.

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.

Dry carbon dioxide bath
When conducting dry carbon dioxide baths, in contrast to water carbon dioxide baths, direct exposure to carbon dioxide takes place. The human body reacts to carbon dioxide by expanding blood vessels and capillaries, as well as increasing the level of oxygen in the blood. Accordingly, blood pressure decreases and vascular condition improves. The lymphatic system, which is responsible for cleaning the body of toxins, begins to work more actively. Dry carbon baths can also cure a number of diseases. Diabetes mellitus. Expansion of blood vessels improves blood circulation in human muscle tissue. Insulin interacts more actively with its receptors, which leads to a decrease in blood sugar levels. Thrombophlebitis. Under the influence of carbon dioxide, blood viscosity decreases, which is the prevention of various congestion in the blood, and, consequently, the formation of blood clots. Bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis. In the process of treatment with the help of dry carbon dioxide baths, the appearance of bronchospasm are eliminated, upper respiration is improved. Skin diseases, including psoriasis. Carbon dioxide baths accelerate the healing process, have antiseptic features, help reduce itching.

Gas injections CO2 (CO2 carboxytherapy)
Carbon dioxide CO2 is injected subcutaneously in the form of injections in the immediate vicinity of the joints and the spine. As a result, pain is reduced, blood supply to problem areas is improved, healing processes are activated.

Gymnastics in the gym
Specialized method of physiotherapy, which significantly improves the mobility of the musculoskeletal system. With it, you can unload or strengthen certain muscle groups, develop joints.

Gymnastics in the pool
Exercise in the pool combines the positive therapeutic effects of water and special exercises. In the water, it is much easier for the patient to do the exercises, because his muscles are relaxed, he experiences resistance and hydrostatic pressure of water. The procedure is used for degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system, in particular - to improve the motor activity of the joints.

Individual physiotherapy
Individual physiotherapy is the most common treatment for patients with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. It is conducted by a single patient physiotherapist, taking into account his individual health condition. According to statistics, in more than 80% of cases, patients have an improvement in the state of the musculoskeletal system, reduced pain, improved the condition of muscles and ligaments.

Inhalations
Used to treat infectious, allergic and chronic diseases of the respiratory tract, including in their postoperative or post-traumatic condition. Mineral water is most commonly used in inhalation, which is sprayed onto microscopic particles that are inhaled through the mouth or nose. Doctors recommend breathing in with your mouth and exhaling with your nose. Medications can also be added to the water as prescribed by the doctor. Inhalation promotes mucus and sputum, purification of mucosal cells. Some types of mineral waters (for example, water from the “Forest” source in Marianske Lazne, Czech Republic) contribute to the removal of mucus even from the bronchi.

Kneipp Path
Kneipp path is a type of hydrotherapy, tempering procedure. The track is a series of tanks, which, due to the touch nozzles that are triggered when the foot enters the unit, are automatically filled with cold and warm water. Regular use of this procedure strengthens the immune system, stimulates blood circulation and improves the blood supply to the lower extremities.
