A spa treatment is a comprehensive, medically-supervised, process administered at a spa resort using local, natural therapeutic resources. The treatment is accompanied by a variety of rehabilitation services, which include physical therapy and exercise, special dietary programs, the necessary pharmacotherapy, the so-called "small psychotherapy," healt education, and suitable suggestions for leisure and recreational activities.
The unique character of the balneotherapy options offered at different spa resorts is determined, in part, by several application methods of the available resources. The treatment method is based on factor that include medical traditions, the relative level of cultural and technical advancement and other national characteristics. In this respect, we often speak of the "Karlovy Vary Treatment Method".
When undergoing a spa treatment, the patient passes through several different stages:
- Initial stage of adaptation (days 1-10);
- Actual Treatment Stage (weeks 2-3);
- Final Stage (end of week 3, possibly week 4).
An initial evalutation stage is the starting point in designing an individual treatment plan than incorporates the best and most suitable treatment factors.
