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.

Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy - a method of using cold factor for treatment. It is used to treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system (gouty arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, polyosteoarthritis), respiratory organs, metabolism, immune system, skin diseases (acne, rosacea, seborrhea). 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.

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.

Electromuscular stimulation TENS
During cutaneous electroneurostimulation (TENS), nerve receptors are stimulated, resulting in an anesthetic effect. In the case of both acute and chronic pain, this method can significantly reduce pain. TENS is used to treat various problems - with pain in the region of the thoracic and lumbar spine, with neurogenic and muscular pains, muscle tension, muscular hypotrophy, while reducing muscle strength / function, various paresis, and disorders of sensitivity and innervation.

Extremiter
Extremiter is a special device that is used to affect the limbs by alternating the phases of vacuum and compression. The device allows using about 40 different programs for individual programming of therapeutic procedures. The procedure begins with a phase of compression with air, as a result lymphatic drainage is accelerated, metabolic products are removed from the tissues and edema is reduced. Then the vacuum phase is used, which promotes the absorption of arterial blood in hard-to-reach areas of the periphery. As a result, the metabolism of tissues improves due to their oxygenation. Extremiter is used to treat more than 15 diseases of the musculoskeletal system and blood vessels. Contraindications for this procedure are: acute conditions of venous thrombosis, bleeding tendency, open wounds with danger of bleeding, purulent infections, malignant tumors, necrosis.
