The pool with seawater and optimal health restoration

It is well known that swimming in sea water can strengthen psychophysical condition, but the healing effect of the cold element depends on the user’s health, age, time spent in the water, water temperature and waves. This is why swimming or exercising in sea water is very important for the treatment of post-operative and post-traumatic conditions and osteomuscular problems. The use of physical and chemical properties of sea for medical purposes is called thalassotherapy. Seawater is considered medicinal and as such is used in pools for hydrokinesitherapy, or in bathtubs for various types of baths or massages. It is also the most important element that regulates the costal climate due to the accumulation of heat and salinity transferred to the air above the sea, called medicinal aerosol. It is also interesting to point out that the chemical composition of seawater is similar to the composition of plasma in highly developed organisms.

The entire activity in the rehabilitation centre is teamwork. Permanent team members that receive the guest are physiotherapy specialist and nurse. In the Home for Paraplegics the patient is actively included in the treatment process, while close family members are also free to join. The aim of health restoration is to achieve optimal functional results. This includes appropriate movement, appropriate and painless movement of injured body parts, appropriate muscle strength, independence in daily activities and mental stability. To achieve those goals, the methods for modern rehabilitation/physiotherapeutic activities are used. The desired result is also very dependent on the guest’s motivation and active participation in the process of health maintenance. This is to a large extent dependent on a well-designed program, which is also based on rest and relaxation in the sauna or during the exercise in the fitness centre and other types of recreation.
