Spa and civilisation diseases. How can they help with prevention and relief of symptoms?

ROYAL SPA is ideal for the treatment of classic diseases of civilization such as stress, fatigue and depression. In the spa we also treat the accompanying manifestations of civilisation. People have been going to the spa since ancient times to relax, regenerate their body and mind and generally do something for their health. And this philosophy has not changed today. The only difference is that spa buildings have a modern hotel-like appearance and, in addition to drinking natural healing springs, you can also undergo other health-enhancing treatments here, including baths or rehabilitation exercises. How can spas help prevent and relieve the symptoms of civilisation diseases?

Prevention plays an important role in civilisation diseases.

Civilisation diseases are linked to the lifestyle of today's society. In most cases, lack of exercise or poor nutrition, or a combination of both, are to blame. The main problems are diets with an excess of sugars and highly processed foods, as well as alcohol consumption, smoking and the use of other addictive substances. When you add stress and a sedentary lifestyle, you get to the main reasons why clients seek out spas most often. These include musculoskeletal problems, neurological problems, respiratory problems and others. Along with these, patients often suffer from type 2 diabetes, overweight or obesity, which are often one of the main causes of their problems.According to surveys from the Institute of Spa and Balneology, up to 50% of clients bring civilisation diseases to the spa, either for treatment or prevention. The majority of respondents also perceive a spa stay as a suitable prevention of these diseases.

Prevention

SPA AS A SUITABLE PREVENTION

However, all these health problems can usually be prevented with the right lifestyle. Even better results can be achieved when a healthy lifestyle is complemented by preventive spa care that benefits both physical and mental health. In the Czech Republic, we have the advantage of a number of naturally occurring natural medicinal resources, which spa facilities use in their treatments. They also have a significant anti-stress effect and promote deep relaxation. You can enjoy a carbonic or bubble bath, stretch out while exercising and relax during a massage with your favourite essential oil. Of course, you can enjoy the aforementioned balanced diet and, as a bonus, take daily walks in the surrounding countryside.

Natural medicinal resources and their effects

These include mainly mineral waters and peloids, i.e. peat, bogs and muds with beneficial effects. The springs themselves are used not only for drinking cures, but also for inhalation and bathing. As far as peloids are concerned, their positive effects are particularly beneficial for the skin and the musculoskeletal system. You will therefore mainly find them in the form of wraps or compresses. The combination of many years of spa tradition, the beneficial effects of natural healing sources and medical expertise has resulted in spa treatment programmes that strengthen immunity and psychological resilience.

They also significantly counteract stress and promote deep relaxation.

A holistic approach

HEALTH BALANCE POINT® - the key to physical and mental balance

The combination of all elements has created the holistic approach HEALTH BALANCE POINT®, on which the spa care in ROYAL SPA hotels and spas is based. It is a comprehensive approach that combines the power of natural healing resources, the latest technology and the best of modern medicine, focusing on six essential elements:

Elements

6 basic elements

  • WATER - let water heal you
  • TOUCH - let touch heal you
  • MIND - learn to relax the mind
  • ACTIVITY - stimulate your body with appropriate activity
  • NUTRITION - energize your body with a balanced diet
  • RELAXATION - relax in the spa with your family

"All these elements together form a circle of health, which we see as the basis for achieving physical and mental well-being for our clients. We have created it based on our many years of experience in the spa industry to achieve the best possible effect of spa treatment. We believe that health is the most important thing in a person's life, so we take the utmost care of it and respect the individual needs of each client, " says Lenka Plachá, marketing manager of ROYAL SPA.

In our spa facilities, we take care of health in a comprehensive way with the aim of finding the right balance for each client. The power of natural healing resources is supported by modern medical procedures, while the beneficial effects of the spa climate are complemented by treatments using the latest technologies. Thanks to this combination of tradition and innovation, our care is of a high medical standard and brings maximum benefit to our clients.

For diabetics

Diabetic Balance - specific care for diabetics

The principles of HEALTH BALANCE POINT® are followed by other programs available in our facilities. A great example is the spa hotel MIRAMARE in Luhačovice, which has included an educational programme called Diabetic Balance in its offer. It is perfectly balanced for diabetics in terms of health, nutrition and exercise.

It is appealing not only because of the pleasant environment of a traditional spa town, but also because of the many treatments that will help you manage this disease in the best possible way and allow you to experience the benefits even after you return from the spa. The aim of the programme is to alleviate possible complications associated with diabetes and improve the patient's overall condition.

The Diabetic Balance programme takes the form of a seven-day full board stay at the MIRAMARE hotel and includes nutritional advice and various spa treatments from baths to exercise to massages. An important part of the treatment is a medical examination and a basic body analysis with a certified InBody device.

Burnout Syndrome

SPA PREVENTION OF BURNOUT SYNDROME

You've probably already come across the term burnout syndrome - stress or chronic fatigue is an increasingly common challenge in modern society. Spa care is a relatively recent development and is proving to be a very effective tool in their prevention. The Impulse for Life programme offered by the spa hotel ROYAL Mariánské Lázně is a shining example of this. It focuses on the regeneration of body and mind and the prevention of mental and physical exhaustion.

During their stay, guests undergo individually tailored treatments that promote deep calming, restore energy and help prevent the negative effects of stress overload. This comprehensive program is ideal for anyone seeking expert assistance in restoring vitality and overall balance to the body.

Spa to kick-start your lifestyle

Good quality sleep is also essential for the proper regeneration of body and mind, and a lack of it can have serious health consequences. An adult needs 7-8 hours of sleep a day, and the need for sleep is genetically determined and can change throughout life. Insomnia, or insomnia, is one of the most common sleep disorders and affects up to 40% of the population. These conditions can impair the ability to regenerate, lead to daytime fatigue and other health problems.For those who suffer from sleep problems or want to improve the quality of their rest, we offer a unique Sleep Balance programme at the NIVAMARE Spa Hotel. This stay has been awarded the prestigious ESPA award for its innovative approach to the treatment of sleep disorders. During the programme you will undergo expert consultations with a sleep specialist - somnologist Jana Kubelová, M.D. You will sleep in a special room equipped with pads measuring sleep efficiency, experience phototherapy and other therapeutic treatments and relaxation in the environment of our hotel, which will help you to restore your sleep balance.A stay in our spa can also be very beneficial for clients suffering from musculoskeletal problems. These are particularly helped by the combination of hydrotherapy, balneotherapy and physical activities. However, these stays are far from being just about rehabilitation, with which the doctor and physiotherapist will help you, but also about setting up regular physical activity.

Health in balance

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AS A WHOLE

A healthy lifestyle as a whole is important, and this applies not only to musculoskeletal problems and chronic stress, but also to diabetes and overweight. A spa programme can also help you with these problems. For spa beginners, the Spa on Trial stay, which lasts 7 nights and takes place at the NIVAMARE hotel in Luhačovice, or the Week for Health stay at the VILA ANTOANETA spa hotel are suitable.

In addition to access to swimming pools, saunas, regular meals and health-promoting treatments, you will also receive consultations with a doctor and other experts who will help you learn the basics of healthy eating and lifestyle and implement them into your daily life.

Within ROYAL SPA we offer a wide range of stays that are tailored to the different needs of our clients. Among them you will find not only treatment programs focused on specific health problems, but also relaxation and wellness stays designed to regenerate body and mind. We do not forget about seasonal offers such as Christmas or New Year's Eve stays or special events that combine relaxation and unique experiences. Our spa facilities are located in different parts of the Czech Republic, which allows us to offer services in a variety of environments - from traditional spa towns to mountain resorts. We use natural healing resources, such as mineral waters and peloids, combined with modern medical procedures and the latest technologies. As a result, we provide high-level care that contributes to the overall health and satisfaction of our clients.

Returning home is not the end of health care

On the contrary, you can think of the spa program as the beginning of a new stage in accordance with the principles of a healthy lifestyle. You won't take home the pools and saunas, but you will take home the spa doctors' recommendations on diet and exercise. So don't forget them, because daily exercise and a well-formulated diet will do much more to help you maintain good health than a series of treatments once or twice a year.

You should especially avoid added sugars, unhealthy fats, fried foods and processed foods. Instead, add more fruit and vegetables, lean meats, legumes, sour dairy products, healthy fats and good quality cereals to your diet and don't forget to drink enough.

When it comes to exercise, you don't have to do squats with a 50-pound weight on your shoulders right away. Regular walks and stretching are quite sufficient to get you started. Gradually work your way up to various group exercises, cycling, swimming or weight training under the supervision of a trainer.
