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.

Hydrogen sulfide mineral baths
Hydrogen sulfide is in free and semi-bonded form, it dissociates into hydrogen ions and hydrosulfide ions by dissociation, these particles have a therapeutic effect. In the internal environment of a person, it penetrates through the skin and respiratory tract. During the period of taking such a bath, the substance diffuses through the skin (about 10%), forming a small depot in the epidermis, allowing it to prolong its action, improves the system of peripheral blood circulation, and, accordingly, the nutrition of tissues. Effects - decrease in blood sugar, fluctuations in sulfur and nitrogen metabolism, a decrease in the concentration of oxidized and reduced glutathione). This leads to an increase in the energy potential of organs and tissues; enhance regenerative functions and stimulate blood formation; снижение воспалительных реакций и рассасывание инфильтратов; improvement in the delivery of certain drugs through the blood-brain barrier (iodine, bijohinol, neosalvarsan); reducing the frequency of contractions of the heart, lowering pressure; stimulation of the secretion of the sebaceous and endocrine glands, the production of biologically active substances (histamine, serotonin, etc.); increase in minute and circulating blood volume. Contraindications: general contraindications to spa treatment, hydrogen sulfide intolerance, infectious diseases of the heart muscle - endocarditis or myocarditis, angina pectoris from class II and above, as well as severe stenosis in valvular lesions, arrhythmias in the form of atrial fibrillation or various blockades, hypertension and vascular diseases in the latter stages, kidney and liver diseases with signs of insufficiency, tuberculosis, pregnancy, acute manifestations of any inflammatory processes and exacerbation of chronic, tendency to bleeding, bronchial asthma, frequent and repeated myocardial infarctions, hyperfunction of endocrine organs, pronounced atherosclerotic phenomena, oncological neoplasms and blood diseases.

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.

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.

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.

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.
