Peloid therapy, or the mud application wrap, is one of the oldest procedures for supporting the joints and spine. We use sterile sulphide silt mud with a high content of trace elements. A session lasts about 60 minutes.
How the procedure goes
- The specialist asks how you are feeling and which areas need attention.
- Warmed mud is applied in a layer to the area that needs it, for example the lower back, neck, knees or other joints.
- The area is covered with film and a warm blanket, so the mud stays warm for longer.
- You lie quietly and relax while the application works.
- Afterwards the mud is washed off with warm water and the skin is gently dried.
What it feels like
Usually it is a deep, pleasant warmth that gradually spreads into the tissues. The mud is thick and may feel heavy, but you soon get used to it. You may sweat slightly. If it gets too hot or uncomfortable, tell the specialist straight away.
What to expect
- Less stiffness and pain in the joints and spine.
- It may help improve mobility with osteochondrosis and arthritis.
- Support during recovery, once inflammation is no longer acute.
The procedure helps support comfort and mobility, but it does not replace treatment prescribed by a doctor.
Course
The number of procedures in a course is decided individually. The specialist will help you make a plan that takes your condition and goals into account.
After the procedure
It is good to drink some water, rest and avoid getting chilled or putting sudden strain on the area. Please tell us about any heart or skin conditions, a history of cancer, pregnancy or anything else we should know.
Who it suits especially well
Peloid therapy is considered for tired joints and spine and for stiffness after physical exertion or long periods without movement. The specialist will advise which areas are best for the application in your case.
Before the procedure, we recommend having a consultation at the centre, as contraindications are checked during the consultation.
