a) Underwater massage is a classical treatment for our guests who relax in a 37°C (36°- 38°) bath in a multifunctional tub, or in a Hubbard's tank. The massage itself is performed using the soothing energy of a directed water stream which is applied manually, from a distance of 10 - 15 cm and from an angle 30° - 60°. By varying the distance and the application angle it is possible to change the intensity of the massage. The duration of the treatment is 15 minutes. The massage acts mainly to release the stiffness of muscles and connective tissues, to reduce pain and to partially release joints. Underwater massage could by provided in a hydro massage tub, where it is applied using a larger number of jets of different sizes. 
b) Scottish sprays are a very intense and strongly stimulating treatment based on the contrast application of cold and warmth. It is applied using the water flow of a jet from a distance of 3 - 4 m. The shower starts with 38° - 42°C water applied for 30 seconds, followed by a shower with 16° - 18°C water applied for 5-10 seconds. The shower is repeated several times, first in the area of upper and lower extremities, then on the torso and belly, always from the frontal as well as rear side. The treatment is not applied to our guests sensitive areas. This wonderfully invigorating treatment leaves our guests relaxed and refreshed and ends with a cold shower.
c) Whirlpool bath is a gentle massage, using whirling water, either through its partial application on the upper extremities or through total body application in a tub with water at a temperature of (36° - 37°C). It contributes to better blood flow to the extremities, activation of skin receptors and a release of muscle and joint stiffness. The treatment lasts 15 minutes. d) Stepping bath is an active movement treatment performed in small tubs, filled with water with contrasting temperatures. It starts in hot water (40° - 46° - 50°C) lasting 1- 2 minutes, then the patient steps over into cold water (10° - 16°C) for 15 – 30 seconds, and the whole cycle is repeated 6 - 10 times. The treatment has a positive impact on headaches, migraine, vegetative disorders as well as disorders of blood circulation (cold feet). The treatment lasts 15 minutes.
