SPA Procedures

Hydrotherapy

In addition to Kneipp methods, all other applications of modern hydrotherapy also have their place at the spa. The main ones are mineral and bubbling baths. For the mineral baths, water is drawn from the Klára and Alexander springs. Other applications of waters are: whirlpools, baths with additives, Finnish sauna, Turkish steam baths, Scottish showers, and alternating walking baths.


Heat Therapy

In applying heat treatments, natural curative springs as well as artificial heat sources are used. Thermo-therapeutic healing methods used at the spa involve:
- paraffin,
- peat,
- infrared radiation,
- sauna, and
- electromagnetic waves


Mineral Water Drinking Cures

These rank among the main healing procedures. The natural waters that spring up here are classified as hydrocarbonic, sodium chloride, ferrous, cold, hypotonic, with a relatively high content of boric acid. The total mineralization of the individual springs ranges from 1,600 mg./liter (the Klára spring) to 9,400 mg/liter (the Hercules spring), and from 2,200 to 3,800 mg/liter of carbonic oxide.


Carbonic Therapies

Since spring waters used for mineral baths are rich in carbonic oxide, the mineral baths rank among these therapies.


Inhaliations and gas injections belong here as well

Pelotherapy and Paraffin Therapy Methods of Treatment In these therapies, paraffin compresses and peat wrappings are employed. The peat is brought here from Trenčianske Teplice.


The following procedures are used for rehabilitation:

- exercises in the swimming pool, free (unguided) swimming,
- exercises with music, calanetics,
- yoga,- terrain cures - involving walks in the
forest around the Spa with professional
supervision,
- cross-country skiing in the winter months


Massage is the internal part of rehabilitation

- classical massage,
- reflex massage, and
- under-water massage



Electro-therapy and magnetic therapy

These methods encompass the use of ultra-sound, a solarium, infrared lamps, diathermy (sub-cutaneous heat treatments), a diatron, magnetic therapy, galvanic(using
electricity produced by chemical reaction) limb baths, fyaction and interferential streams.


Inhalation therapy

Three kinds of inhalation are employed:
- upper respiratory tract inhalation
- lower respiratory tract inhalation, and
- group inhalation.
Very popular are the so-called group inhalations, which involve singing as a way to enhance inhaling. Mineral water from the Hercules Spring is used for inhalation. One of the latest procedures is oxygen therapy, involving breathing in pure oxygen taken from the air.


Phototherapy (treatment employing light rays)

This supplementary therapy involves warming up parts of the body using solariums located both in the Treatment Facility and the Ozon Hotel. These solariums, of course, have additional uses.


Diet Therapy

Diet is an integral part of any complex therapy, its purpose being to eliminate the negative influence of poor dietary habits. The following diets are in use:

No. 2- a bland diet,
No. 3- a basic diet,
No. 4- a low-fat diet,
No. 5- a low-fiber diet,
No. 6- a low-protein diet,
No. 8- a reducing diet,

No. 8D- a so-called separating foods diet, in which certain food items are eaten with specific other items,
No. 9- a diet for diabetics,

- a flour-free/cereals-free diet
