In this unique center, try Whole Body Cryotherapy, hereinafter referred to as WBC. It is a procedure of exposing the whole body to very low temperatures from -130 to -190ºC. The procedure is carried out for 3 minutes, during which cooling of the upper and middle layers of the skin is achieved.
Clinical research has shown that the greatest effect is achieved by staying at a temperature of -150 ºC for 3 minutes. Anything below that gives at least ten times less effect. Clinically proven effects are: normalization of metabolism, recovery of athletes, improvement of skin condition, normalization of body functions, improvement of psycho-emotional state, etc.
Physical therapy involves the application of agents (electricity, light, sound, magnet) to solve the problem of spinal pain, inflammation of muscles and nerves, swelling and healing of soft-tissue and bone-joint structures. Physical therapy represents the most modern form of non-invasive therapy and as such gives good results in the treatment of patients. Some of the beneficial effects are: improvement of local circulation, reduction of edema through resorption, reduction of swelling and pain, improvement of quality of life, by increasing body mobility and accelerating metabolism. It helps in the healing of wounds due to sports and other injuries, accelerates the recovery of women after childbirth.
Aging is a complex biological process, during which there are changes in the composition and physiological functions of the organism. Rehabilitation of the elderly is based on a combination of physical agents, kinesitherapy, electrical and occupational therapy. Due to its characteristics, old age is most often accompanied by the appearance of: cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, as well as osteoporosis, which is one of the main reasons for bone fractures, primarily in the hip joint, wrist and spine. The goal of physiotherapy in this area is to train the patient for daily functioning and activities of daily life.
Children's health is, as they say, their greatest duty and concern, so the concept of work in this practice is based on a comprehensive approach to the treatment of both healthy and developmentally disabled children, all with the aim of detecting, preventing and monitoring the condition of the youngest for whom are suspected of having a tendency towards certain diseases and pathological conditions.
The Bobath concept, implemented by specialists, is an interdisciplinary method based on a detailed analysis and understanding of sensorimotor functions, tone and movement patterns, and its impact on a child's daily life. Each child has their own individual needs and requires an individual therapy program. In the "Angela" health center, children's diseases are treated, which can be divided into: conditions and diseases that affect normal sensory and motor development, and diseases, acquired deformities and injuries due to childbirth. They also try to train parents how to deal with the child through the daily routine (handling), with the goal of stimulating normal patterns of movement.
Physiological changes during pregnancy that occur as a result of the changed hormonal state due to preparation for the growth and development of a new being are natural in themselves, but women, regardless of age, experience them differently. A very common phenomenon in pregnancy is swelling - more often only on the legs, but they can also appear on the hands and face. Some of the procedures and methods of treatment available at the "Angela" health facility are: manual lymphatic drainage, performed by trained therapists. It is a special type of massage that differs in the strength of applied pressure and in the way it is performed. The pressure is gentle, the movements are gentle, they are repeated in a dosed, controlled manner and the whole procedure is pleasant, and the results are immediately noticeable. We do all kinds of exercises and therapeutic procedures for certain conditions and diseases, including injuries, in consultation with a physiatrist and a gynecologist. The professional team of therapists in this institution emphasizes the psychological and physical preparation of pregnant women for breastfeeding, as one of the most modern concepts for the promotion of the health of the population, and, in addition, the necessary immunizations of children. They are advocates of mandatory breastfeeding and in that field they help significantly in every field, and that with the possibility of going out on the field.
Through the "Angela" center program, you will be guided by a team of experts in order to solve your neurological problems. As part of neurological rehabilitation, the following patients are treated: after a stroke, patients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and other disorders of central origin, patients after a head injury and/or spinal injury, patients with muscle diseases, patients with nerve diseases and injuries, etc. One of the most up-to-date techniques in our country is a high-intensity laser, along with other electro-procedures.
In addition to the mentioned modalities of physical therapy, kinesitherapy or therapeutic exercises are one of the most important aspects of physical medicine. In addition to the mentioned modalities of physical therapy, kinesitherapy or therapeutic exercises are one of the most important aspects of physical medicine. The goal of kinesitherapy is to achieve good blood circulation, improve circulation, i.e. the flow of oxygen in muscle and other structures. Due to the lack of physical activity of our musculoskeletal structure, the body also becomes weak, as such it becomes prone to the development of many diseases, which is why kinesitherapy is carried out in this unique center with the aim of preventing diseases, as well as improving the general psycho-physical condition.
Electrotherapy implies treatment with physical modalities, among which are: electrotherapy, magnetotherapy and sonotherapy. The best effect is achieved when electrotherapy is combined with other physical therapy techniques, the most common being: magnetotherapy, cryotherapy and laser therapy. In the "Angela" center, a specialist in physical therapy will determine the necessary therapy based on the etiology, pathogenesis and accompanying symptoms of the patient's pathological process. Therapy is applied individually, taking into account the patient's condition, gender, age, as well as the organism's reactivity.
Massage is the art of touch. Stimuli caused by touch, with the help of millions of receptors in the skin, send signals to the brain, which reacts by secreting endorphins - hormones of happiness and good mood, which reduces the tension of the nervous system.
Massage increases local circulation, lymph resorption and venous blood flow. Here you can get relaxation massage, sports massage, therapeutic massage and anti-cellulite massage, performed by therapists with many years of experience.
Lymphatic drainage is a type of detox treatment. This is explained by the process that occurs after lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic vessels are very passive and they do not have a heart to pump fluid, as blood vessels do. Water, or lymph, can be stagnant for several reasons. Therapists with many years of experience will help you to recover as quickly and as well as possible from these complications, which are frequent and most often limit a woman's daily activities and make it difficult to function normally.
Detox treatment means cleaning the body both inside and out. At PZU "Angela" you can also get advice from a nutritionist, who, according to a special protocol and individually, will make a diet plan that fits and adapts to your life and work habits, while taking care not to disturb the balance in your diet, and not to be hungry in during detoxification, which is very important for most patients. Detoxification in our center is carried out in 3 phases, each of which lasts a month.
Every person is the creator of his own health or illness, and prevention is the first step towards health, so schedule an examination, consultation or treatment at this unique health center!
