PEARL – WHIRLING SEA SALT BATHS

 

VERTICAL BATH – it is a gymnastics in mineralized water pool, treating spinal inflammations, degenerative dystrophic diseases and their complications. These baths combine therapeutic effect of mineralized water and kinesitherapy (treatment by movements) to affect unbalanced functions of muscles, ligaments and joints. Relaxed muscles and partial state of weightlessness will enable you to perform active therapeutic movements. Muscles and ligaments become stronger, spine becomes more flexible, movements become clearer and less painful, often pain disappears at all after vertical baths course. Pathological  spinal process progression as well as muscular atrophy, development of spinal deformation are suspended.

 

THERAPEUTIC GYMNASTICS IN A POOL – is a very effective procedure while treating inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases, complications after traumas. The procedure combines therapeutic effect of mineralized water and kinesitherapy (treatment by movements). Pain is soothed, amplitude of joint movement is increased, muscles strengthened, walking is eased.
