Plissa

Plissa has become our story character several times. We just have to include it in our top of Belarusian places for recreation! Just look at this photo: it braces peace and relaxation. Plissa also organizes aqua aerobics classes, so in addition to pleasure, you will also keep fit.

What about the treatment?

Both balneotherapy and hydrotherapy are in absolute control here. Depending on what diagnosis a doctor makes, you will be prescribed curative baths, Charcot's douche, underwater horizontal spinal traction and other cures. This place has its own mineral waters with the same name. What's this if not a miracle? A real treasure trove of valuable substances and micronutrients!

Alfa Radon

Luxurious swimming pool of the Alfa Radon sanatorium

Alfa Radon is a premium class place of rest in Belarus. Relax to the fullest without leaving the country! And a wonderful aquazone is one of the reasons to visit this snazzy place. Here you can find:

  • swimming pool with cascading shower and water jets for foot massage;

  • whirlpool;

  • Finnish sauna;

Unlimited use of all the aquazone locations is already included in the price of any package to the Alpha Radon. But wait, there's more! They call it Alfa Radon for a reason: the highlight of the resort is the mineral radon waters. The active gas in their composition helps to reduce pain, enhance joint mobility and blood flow to muscles, expedite the process of wound healing and tissue regrowth, normalize blood pressure and activate the immune system.

VETLIVA’s advice: it does not matter whether you have already had COVID-19 or are trying to protect yourself against this disease — Alfa Radon is one of the main Belarusian recreation spots that offers a special rehabilitation program. It helps to restore the normal pulmonary functioning and strengthen the immune system.

Swimming in mineral water: a couple of health resorts with unique pools

Did you know that you can not only drink mineral water, but also bathe in it? Swimming itself has a healing effect on the body: we relax, calm down and just enjoy the gentle embrace of water. And swimming in a pool with mineral water helps useful substances to penetrate directly into the skin and detoxify your body. It is the healing powers of the water that made these health resorts a popular place for recreation and treatment.

Priozerny

Priozerny is not just one of the best resting places in Belarus. This is the health resort with its own mineral-water sources that fills a special pool. In addition to basic swimming, you can engage in hydrokinesotherapy (a special fitness that helps to feel relief for patients with the musculoskeletal and circulatory system diseases) or aqua aerobics. A sauna is also available, so you’re able to take a steam with all your heart and improve health as well.

There is the Kneipp path — an unusual type of water therapy which combines both recovery and a pleasant pastime. As soon as you step into one of the reservoirs, sensor mechanisms are triggered and immediately fill the tank with cold or warm water. And now you feel excited, and the contrasting water jets at the same time massage your feet and stimulate blood circulation, helping to boost your immune system and train the body.

Pridneprovsky

Being located in the Gomel region, Pridneprovsky is also rich with its own mineral-water sources. Moreover, there are already 4 wells here where it is extracted from! From the first two, water is taken to fill baths and a special pool, and from the 3rd and the 4th healing-table water flows. Unlike bottled drinks which are artificially carbonated in factories, natural mineral water does not lose its healing features during extraction and gives your body the full amount of useful substances. For example, during bathing, 0.3 mg of bromine passes through the skin. It penetrates blood and has a positive effect on blood pressure, slows down the heart rate to optimal and sedates the nervous system.

It is clear that water therapy is not limited to bathing alone. You will find milk-and-honey, coniferous-and-salicylic, mineral and other baths (the type depends on the doctor's advice and the chosen treatment program), circular douche and Charcot's douche, irrigation, cedar barrel and much more.

VETLIVA’s advice: does working routine not let you go? Do you dream of taking rest and only? Then you really need to go to the Pridneprovsky health resort where a unique dry floating procedure is performed.

Aquapark + health resort = formula for an ideal rest
