Bubblebath
A massage bath in water carbonated with compressed air. The water has a temperature of 36°-37°C, the air is fed into a special perforated grate on the bottom of the bathtub under the pressure of 0.15 MPa.

Carbonated bath
The bath is prepared by saturating water heated to 32-34 C by carbon dioxide from a pressure bottle. Lower water temperature is required in order to dissolve a sufficient amount of CO2. The initial feeling of cold is replaced by the feeling of pleasant warmth, which arrives in about 10 seconds. The water may not by stirred or swirled too much and the patient should move in the bath as little as possible to prevent excessive accumulation of CO2 just above the water level. Carbonated baths lower blood pressure, improve heart function and blood circulation.
Whirlpool bath
It is a gentle massage with whirling water. It is applied in the bathtub filled with water up to 1/2 or 3/4 with a constant temperature (36°-37°C). This bath helps to improve blood circulation in the limbs, activates skin receptors and releases muscle and joint stiffness.

Underwater massage

The actual massage is performed using the energy of the water flow, which runs under pressure from 0.2 to 0.4 MPa (i.e. 2-4 atm.) The water flow is directed onto the body manually, from a distance of 10-15 cm and at an angle of 30°-60°. The intensity of the massage may be easily varied by changing the distance and the application angle. The massage helps to release tight muscles and connective tissue, alleviate pain and partially to relax joints.
