There are 5 types of therapeutic showers used in our sanatorium:

- Charcot shower – during this procedure, a jet of warm water under pressure is directed to certain areas of the body. Massage action expands blood vessels, improves blood flow and metabolism, improves tone and strengthens immunity, eliminates muscle pain.

- Cascade shower - The cascade shower procedure is like diving into the rushing waters of a waterfall. This is a method of balneotherapy with the effect on the body of cold water falling from a height of several meters. Cascading shower refreshes and invigorates. Wide jets of water, falling from a small height, have an effect on the parietal and temporal areas of the head, responsible for the blood supply to the brain. Therefore, a cascade shower improves the blood circulation of the head, and hence the functioning of the central nervous system..

- Underwater shower massage is a pleasant and useful procedure, which consists in the effect of a jet of water on the body of a patient who is under water. Hydro massage improves blood circulation and lymph flow, relieves swelling and fatigue, tightens the skin, improves the state of the nervous system.

- Circular (needle) shower – a lot of thin horizontal streams of water under high pressure are directed to the body. They excite peripheral receptors and tone the central nervous system, accelerate metabolic processes and activate the body's natural defenses. This type of shower helps to get rid of pain in the spine, strengthens the cardiovascular system.

- Ascending shower – designed for the treatment of pelvic organs and represents the effect of water jets on the perineum area. When used, there is an improvement in blood supply to the pelvic region and acceleration of resorption of inflammatory processes.
