Wrap yourself in healing warmth in the heart of the Jizera Mountains!
Warmth is associated with relaxation and bliss. It can also have a number of health benefits. Therapeutic thermotherapy has several varieties. Thermotherapy, i.e. treatment with heat above 36 ° C, and cold therapy, in which treatment with cold is used, i.e. treatments with temperatures below 36 ° C. There is also cryotherapy, which involves applying a temperature below 0 ° C.
Thermotherapeutic treatments:
Thermotherapy is a form of physical therapy that uses heat energy for therapeutic purposes.
In our facility, we offer a variety of therapeutic therapies based on the effect of temperature on the affected tissues.
Paraffin wraps they are used for local, intensive overheating of the treated area. Paraffin compresses are highly effective in the treatment of chronic rheumatoid and neurological diseases, in which they bring quick relief to patients. They use the versatile effect of paraffin. Its strong health-promoting properties together with the therapeutic effect of heat have a positive effect on the health of patients and help them relax. In addition to supporting other methods of treating connective tissue diseases, paraffin compresses are also used as part of the therapy of metabolic disorders.
TermoPack is an overheating procedure that causes local intense congestion. Patients are treated with heat compresses. It can be an element of therapy before physiotherapeutic exercises or a method of restoring fitness after injuries of a part of the locomotor system. TermoPack increases blood flow, thanks to which tissues are better nourished and oxygenated. Heat treatment with the use of point warming and congestion helps to remove plaque and toxins from the body. The treatment results in more flexible and stretchy muscles with reduced pain sensitivity.
Sollux is a treatment on the borderline of phototherapy and thermotherapy. It is performed with the use of infrared (IR) radiation. The light is emitted by a special Sollux lamp. The therapy is aimed at heating the tissues and influences their hyperemia, which in turn starts the healing processes. Sollux has a positive effect on the body, relieving pain and inflammation. It helps in faster healing of wounds.
It is mainly used for cryostimulation. It helps reduce perceived pain, relieve inflammatory processes, reduce swelling, increase range of motion in the joint, and increase muscle strength. Patients who undergo cryotherapy agree that the therapy significantly reduces convalescence and joint recovery time.
Treatment consists of cooling the diseased area with carbon dioxide. The gas temperature is minus 70 to minus 80 °C. The goal of cold therapy is to trigger and utilize the body's natural, physiological response to cold. The duration of the procedure is from 1 to 3 minutes. The number of treatments in the treatment is determined by the doctor after reviewing the patient's current medical history.
Local cryotherapy can be used in the treatment of pain associated with rheumatic diseases or dermatological diseases. It consists of exposing the selected body surface to a stream of nitrogen vapor (-176 °C), carbon dioxide (-70 °C) or chilled air (-25 °C) for about 3 minutes.
