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.

Charcot shower
The procedure uses alternately hot (38-40 °C) and cold (18-20 °C) water. Charcot shower (Scottish douche) has a very tonic effect, improves blood circulation, activates the immune system and metabolism. This procedure also massages well and relieves muscle pain in degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Also shown in patients with circulatory disorders of the upper and lower extremities. Restrictions to the procedure: varicose veins and some skin diseases. Contraindications: pronounced cardiovascular pathologies (angina, heart attack), exacerbation of hypertension, fever, acute inflammation, tuberculosis, oncology, bleeding tendency, psychosis, weeping eczema.

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.

Iodine-bromine baths
Iodine and bromine, being biologically active substances, play a huge role in the life of the body. A large amount of iodine is needed by the thyroid gland, which causes the body's hormones and metabolism (metabolism) as a whole. Bromine in large quantities is needed by the brain structures. Iodine-bromine baths normalize the functions of the central nervous system, metabolic processes, the functions of the thyroid gland, the blood circulation process. Not all resorts have natural iodine-bromine mineral waters. Therefore, artificial bromine baths are often prepared: in 1 liter of water, 100 g of sodium iodide and 250 g of potassium bromide are dissolved.

Kinesiotherapy
Kinesiotherapy is a special rehabilitation method used in physiotherapy exercises. It is used in diseases of the musculoskeletal system, helps to improve the mobility of joints, strengthen the muscular corset. Kinesiotherapy helps even with vertebral hernia, arthritis, arthrosis, chronic back pain. In spa hotels, the so-called "passive" kinesiotherapy is usually used, that is, the patient does not perform the set of exercises himself, and the physiotherapist-rehabilitologist deals with him. There are also some contraindications for kinesiotherapy: thrombophlebitis, rupture of muscles and tendons, cancer, heart failure, the presence of stones in the kidneys, gallstone disease, epilepsy, circulatory disorders in the brain, diabetes mellitus.

Laser therapy
Laser therapy is part of physiotherapy. Depending on the doctor's prescription, it is applied in a constant or pulsed mode, locally or on wider areas of the body. The effect of laser therapy is manifested in the fact that the light energy absorbed by the cells triggers important biochemical processes that accelerate vascular regeneration, increase oxygen absorption by the tissues, and promotes accelerated healing of wounds. In general, laser therapy has anti-inflammatory, biostimulating, analgesic effect.

Light therapy
Light therapy is the use of bright rays that are able to penetrate deep into the tissues of the body, but they do not contain ultraviolet radiation. Polarized light acts at the cellular level, therefore, the body accelerates the processes of metabolism and synthesis of substances necessary for normal life. One of the most important purposes of this method is stimulation of the body’s immune system.

Magnetic therapy
Magnetic therapy is a method of influencing an organism with a constant or variable low-frequency magnetic field. The magnetic field has an anesthetic and sedative effect, accelerates capillary blood flow and increases the blood filling of blood vessels. Magnetotherapy normalizes the function of the adrenal glands, the thyroid gland, the sex glands, has a positive effect on the nervous system, helps to increase the body's resistance to various diseases.

Manual lymphatic drainage massage
Manual Lymphatic drainage massage (pneumopressure, pressure therapy) - a special type of massage, which is carried out by a physiotherapist, is usually prescribed for disorders of lymph flow. Massage is performed by stroking movements of the hands. There is a release of the body from slags, toxins, fluid accumulated in the tissues.

Mineral bath
Mineral baths have on the body at the same time mechanical, thermal and chemical effects. Mechanical due to hydrostatic effect, which improves blood microcirculation in the body. The warmth of mineral water warms up internal organs, improves metabolism, and has an analgesic effect. Chemicals contained in mineral water (and this, as a rule, iron, bromine, boron, silicon, sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium) affect the skin reflexively, irritating nerve endings, and humorically, that is, penetrate the skin, saturating blood. In addition, the patient, while in the bath, inhales the vapors of mineral water, which are useful from the point of view of the effects on the respiratory organs.

Mud applications
Mud applications are the imposition of a layer of therapeutic mud (silt 4-6 cm, peat 6-8 cm) on different parts of the body, depending on the doctor's prescriptions in the localization of the pathological process. Usually the temperature of the mud is 38-42 degrees Celsius. There are several types of mud applications: "collar" (overlaying a layer of dirt on the collar area), "panties" (on the groin), "socks", "gloves". There are 3 phases in mud therapy. The first is the reflex phase, when the dirt acts on the skin receptors and it is through them that the central nervous system is affected (the central nervous system is responsible for the self-regulation of important vital processes in the body). The second phase is neurochemical, when biologically active substances are synthesized in the body, their circulation in the blood. The third phase is the reaction to the effects of therapeutic mud: the blood supply to various tissues and organs improves, the absorption of oxygen increases, the products of inflammatory processes (harmful substances, slags) are removed from the body, the protective mechanisms of the body are activated. The third phase is the longest of all (from 2 to 24 hours). Since mud applications are accompanied by less overheating of the body, put less stress on the cardiovascular system, they are more easily tolerated than mud baths.

Mud bath
Mud baths are usually carried out on the basis of therapeutic peat mud with a temperature of 36-38 °C. Mud baths, in order to avoid excessive load on the body, should be carried out every other day. Therapeutic mud acts on the skin, and also penetrating through it, saturates the body with chemicals. Heat from the mud warms up the internal organs, which contributes to the flow of blood to them, inhibits the activity of the central nervous system. Mud bath reduces muscle tone, reduces blood pressure, reduces pain, removes pathogens from the skin, eliminates inflammatory processes. I especially want to note that when medicinal mud is mixed with mineral water, it leaches out, that is, minerals are released from it more actively, which enhances the therapeutic effect.

Mud vaginal tampons
During the procedure, peat mud is used (introduced by a special syringe or a special tip). It has a positive effect on the vaginal microflora, increases blood circulation, stimulates the production of hormones, relieves inflammation, promotes the resorption of hematomas and edema. After the procedure, the dirt is removed by douching.

Naphthalan bath
The patient is placed in a bathtub filled with naphthalan oil, heated to a temperature of 37 - 38 °C. Through the pores, oil enters the bloodstream and then goes back with sweaty secretions. At the same time, along with sweaty discharge, all substances harmful to the body come out. After this, the patient should wash off the oil in the shower and go to bed, as the process of oil release with harmful substances will continue beyond the baths.
