Therapeutic relaxation

Relaxation is the body’s ability to relax muscles and relieve body tension (physical relaxation) whether voluntary or involuntary, the ability to relieve psychological and spiritual tension, calm down (rest). Relaxation is a safe and effective way to overcome stress and improve the quality of life.

During relaxation exercises, a person learns to relax voluntarily, and regular practice restores the physiological and psychological resources of the body resulting in improved physical and psychological well-being, less anxiety and more self-confidence.

Relaxation:

• Muscle tension decreases;
• Breathing slows down;
• Low blood pressure;
• Decreased brain activity;
• Heart rate slows.

Benefits of relaxation exercises:

• Helps to avoid depletion of the body or mental activity, because too much, prolonged or constant tension destroys our adaptive mechanisms;
• Helps treat stress-related illnesses;
• Helps to eliminate morbid anxiety and its psychological and physiological manifestations.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential and aromatic plant oils for the treatment and prevention of diseases. The essential oils extracted through the fractional distillation of aromatic plants (orange blossom, tea tree, thyme, juniper, lavender, mint, chamomile, etc.) are used for aromatherapy purposes. These are concentrated, biologically active, volatile phyto-organic plant compounds. In addition to the sense of smell (blends of essential oils), vision (colour lighting) and hearing (special type of music) are also impacted to boost the effectiveness of the treatment. Four types of aromatherapy blends are used in the sanatorium.

Healing effect: Features antibacterial and antiviral effects, reduces inflammatory processes, eases breathing, relaxes tense muscles, relieves pain, has a calming or activating effect (depending on the blend of essential oils), promotes the balance in the autonomic nervous system, strengthens the immune system, improves mood and sleep, lowers heart rate and arterial blood pressure.

It is a sound therapy for deep relaxation based on binaural beats. During the procedure, the brain is exposed to signals of different frequency through ears. The signals balance and harmonise the activity of the left and right hemispheres of the brain, which makes them function in the same and consistent manner. The music, which is heard during the relaxation, involves signals of special frequency that pass through the headphones and enable deep relaxation and rest. The sanatorium offers four types of binaural relaxation: deep relaxation; healing, music (classical/relaxation), and spot relaxation.

Healing effect: Normalises brain activity, improves focus, increases creative potential, decreases heart rate, lowers arterial blood pressure, reduces anxiety, improves mood and well-being, improves sleep quality, relieves tense muscles, and speeds up the healing processes.
