Musculoskeletal system

The musculoskeletal system is made up of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. It gives the body support, allows it to move and protects the internal organs. A sedentary lifestyle, overstrain, age and injuries all affect its condition, and that is when stiffness and pain in the back and joints appear.

How to support the musculoskeletal system

• Movement. Regular walking, stretching and gentle exercise keep the joints mobile and the muscles strong.
• Good posture. Breaks during desk work and a comfortable workplace reduce the load on the spine.
• Nutrition. Enough protein, vegetables, nuts and fish provide material for tissue repair.
• Weight. A moderate weight reduces the load on the joints.

Procedures at the centre

Water and wrap procedures help relax the muscles and ease the feeling of stiffness.

• Mud application wrap (peloid therapy). A warm mud application can reduce the feeling of pain and stiffness in the joints and spine and improve mobility.
• Magnesium (bischofite) wrap. Helps relax the muscles and relieve spasms.
• Contrast procedures. Support the tone of the blood vessels and muscles around the joints.

The procedures complement medical treatment and physical activity, but do not replace them.

Simple habits for everyday comfort

Try doing a few smooth movements for your neck, shoulders and lower back every morning. Sleep on a comfortable mattress, lift heavy things with your knees bent and do not always carry your bag on the same shoulder. Little things like these reduce the load on your spine.

Before any procedures, we recommend talking to a specialist at the centre, as contraindications are checked during the consultation.
