Physiotherapy
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic Exercise is probably one of the most effective treatments in the recovery process. In all Danubius Hotels we have highly qualified and experienced physiotherapists who are able to prescribe active and passive exercises as well as manipulation and mobilization. Therapeutic exercises are performed either in groups or individually. Therapeutic exercise can also be performed in thermal water. Generally the sessions last for 30 minutes.
Medical massage
Our medical massages are performed by qualified masseurs. Medical massages differ from relaxation massages by the techniques used and the area of application. The massage is generally targeted at areas where secondary changes have occurred as a result of a reaction to primary disease. Its aim is to speed up the recovery process by improving circulation to the problematic area.
Duration of treatment: 20 - 30 minutes.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound has the effect of a micro massage on the problematic area, stimulating and heating the effected body cells. Because it relaxes the muscles it is excellent for the treatment of pain. The micro massage of the soft tissue also assists in the healing process by improved circulation and increase of oxygen.
Different types include:
- On the surface of the body
- In the water
- Sonophoresis: (putting medicines into the organism by ultrasound treatment).
Duration of treatment: 3 - 6 minutes
Segment and connective tissue massage
This is a specialized massage prescribed in case of some locomotor disorders.
Duration of treatment: 20 minutes
Foot reflex zone massage
The foot reflex zone massage is a good example of a segment massage. The purpose is to break the harmful circle of reflexes and to promote healing of the organs.
Duration of treatment: 20 minutes
Lymph massage
The goal of the treatment is to stimulate the emptying of the lymphatic glands through a gentle stroking and pumping action. The massage improves the performance of the metabolism and has a detoxification effect. It is recommended for the additional treatment of oedema, varicose veins and cellulite as well overall improvement. Patients who had breast surgery or have suffered thrombosis are recommended only to receive lymph massages from an expert physiotherapist following medical examination.
Duration of treatment: 40 minutes.
