Weight Bath

The weight bath is an underwater treatment. The pleasantly warm water keeps the body in a relaxed state, on which weights of a size depending on individual characteristics are placed:

  • The weights are attached to the waist and/or ankles,
  • the body is suspended with support at the neck or armpit.

As a result:

  • the spine is stretched,
  • the vertebrae move apart,
  • thus the discs can return to their original place,
  • which results in them no longer pressing on the posterior ligament or the nerve.

The weight bath can thus be an important part of rehabilitation in case of lumbago, but it can also be used as prevention.

It can be complemented with medicinal water baths, mud packs, and therapeutic massage. It is worth taking advantage of the country's medicinal waters, which can help with degenerative, calcification, and small joint problems as well. However, it is important to mention here that if after the treatment we live the same lifestyle as before, the pain can reoccur.
