The word “Physio” has Greek origins, and means “nature”. It uses the power of the nature for medical treatment. Physiotherapy is the most ancient branch of curing; the different chemical, mechanical and heating effects of sun, water and nature have been already used at ancient times for curing.
During the Roman Empire, Emperor Claudius healed paralyzed children in baths with the help of electric fish, stimulating paralyzed muscles.
Nowadays physiotherapy is at the disposal of those, who are willing to heal, with wide range of services.
Iontophoresis
Ingesting medicine solutions and creams through the skin with the help of electric current.
Diadynamic
is such electric treatment, which has relaxation effect on muscular tissue and blood circulation.
Interference
Electric treatment, which generates massaging feeling, and by so doing, we can reach muscle relaxation and pain relief.
Effect on the organism:
- Decreases blood pressure
- Softens scars and subcutaneous tissue
- It has antiphlogistic effect
- Decreases blood effusions and edema
Indicated:
- To reduce neurogenous pain
- In case of lumbago
- To reduce pain, originated of articular cartilage detritions and calcification
- To increase Ca ingestion in case of calcification, for secondary pain relief
- To relief pain, caused by tennis-elbow
- To cease pain
Selective stimulus current
Stimulating muscles with electric current and inducing muscular contraction.
Effect on the organism
Improves the condition of muscles with reduced strength (after accidents and locomotor surgeries)
Indicated:
- In case of muscular weakness, associated with different articular problems
- For urinary incontinence problems
- In case of facial and other peripheral paralysis
- After sport accidents
Ultrasound
Electric current is transformed into mechanic energy with the help of a machine; hereby heating effect appears on the treated body surface.
Effect on the organism:
- Increases local hyperemia
- Pain relief
- Sooths muscle
- Sooths connective tissue
Indicated:
- To decrease symptoms, caused by arthritis
- To loosen spastic musculature
- To reduce pain, originated of articular cartilage detritions and calcification and to decrease movement – restriction
Already in ancient times Hippocrates recognized the healing power of water, and recommended it to treat different illnesses. He reported the effects of heat loss in water, and established the fundamental laws of hydrotherapy.
Doctors of Roman Empire established bath institutes. Beside baths of different temperatures, they did massage and gymnastics also.The high development of Roman bathing culture has been saved by the Hungarian memorials also.
The treatment by the components of bath water was first used in the renaissance era. The survival of Turkish baths shows the hydrotherapeutic significance of this age. Hungary has unique hydro-geological conditions in Europe, and this makes the recognition of thermal baths` importance possible, for wider public. There was thermal water well in Cegléd and its surroundings already in 1968. Treatments can be used under medical indication.
Medicinal Bath
is the use of chemical components and physical effects of medicinal water in therapies.
Its effect on the organism:
physical effect: the body weight reduces to its tenth, as a result of elevating power, so the load of joints will be minimal; it is easier to make movements.
Indicated:
- In case of locomotor diseases
- In case of gynecological problems
- To treat chronic arthritis
- To decrease nervous breakdowns
- To relieve the state of depression
Underwater water jet massage (in Tangentor tub)
Water jet massage in bath tub.
Effects on the organism:
- Improves blood circulation and lymph circulation
- Loosens muscular tension
Indicated:
- In case of locomotor diseases
- After-treatment after accidents
- To improve sportsmen’s condition
- To loosen spastic musculature
Medicinal weight bath
is underwater traction with the help of the elevating power of water and the patent’s own weight.
Effects on the organism:
- Increases blood circulation and lymph circulation
- Loosens spinal and neck muscle
Indicated:
- To treat lumbago
- Articular cartilage detritions, calcification, deformities
- The pain of muscles by the spinal
- Scoliosis
- Headache, caused by the deformation of cervical spinal
Electronic bath
is electronic treatment, where positive effects of water and electric current show up.
Effects on the organism:
- Pain relief
- By its vasodilator effect, it decreases blood pressure
- It has soothing, relaxing effect
- It has antiphlogistic effect
Indicated:
- In case of chronic rheumatic illnesses
- In case of osteoporosis
- In case of muscular & connective tissue pain
