Thermotherapy (sauna)

Термотерапія — це лікувальний метод, що використовує контрольований вплив тепла на тканини організму

Thermotherapy is a treatment method that uses controlled heat exposure to body tissues. At ReStart, thermotherapy is an important part of physical rehabilitation, especially in cases of chronic pain, muscle spasms, inflammation, and as a preparation for massage or kinesiotherapy.

How does thermotherapy work?

Heat dilates blood vessels, activates blood circulation and accelerates metabolic processes in the affected area. Thanks to this:

Inflammation and swelling are reduced

Pain impulses on receptors are reduced

Deep muscle layers relax

Lymphatic drainage and toxin removal are activated.

Stimulates tissue repair and ligament elasticity

Who is it recommended for?

People with chronic muscle and joint pain

For patients with muscle spasms and tension

For people in the rehabilitation period after injuries and surgeries

People with reduced joint mobility

Patients with circulatory disorders in the extremities

For those experiencing stress, fatigue and sleep disturbances

Main indications

Chronic muscle pain, spasms
Osteoarthritis, arthritis, radiculopathy
Post-traumatic and postoperative conditions
Muscle hypotonia, joint stiffness
Myofascial pain syndrome
Microcirculation disorders, “cold extremities”
Stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances

Advantages of the procedure

Natural pain relief without medication

Relaxation of deep muscle layers

Reducing swelling and inflammation

Improving blood and lymph circulation

Increasing the elasticity of ligaments and muscles

Improving joint mobility

Preparing the body for physical activity

Accelerate recovery from injuries

General relaxation and stress reduction

Contraindications

Acute inflammatory processes (especially of the joints)
Fever, general intoxication
Oncopathology
Skin sensitivity disorders (neuropathy)
Active phase of varicose veins or thrombosis
Skin diseases in the affected area

How does the session work?

A thermotherapy session begins with a consultation with a doctor or physical therapist, after which the optimal method of exposure is selected (electric heat, paraffin therapy, infrared radiation or wrap), and the treatment area is isolated to ensure local and maximally effective heat action.

Duration: 60 minutes.

Recommended course: 2–3 times a week, often in combination with exercise therapy or massage (calculated individually for each patient).
