Sanatorium for young people: health tourism becomes a fashionable trend
Young people began to vacation in sanatoriums more often. Holidays combined with treatment and disease prevention are being turned into a travel trend by millennials and zoomers. The resorts of the Caucasus Mineralnye Vody attract them not only with the atmosphere of Lermontov’s «Water Society», but also with first-class service, a variety of treatment programmes and SPA procedures. We plunged into the life of the Kazakhstan Sanatorium in the city of Yessentuki and learnt why young people loved health resorts.
Reboot and anti-stress
Irregular working hours, the hustle and bustle of the big city, poor ecology and, as a result — stress, depression and chronic fatigue. People go to the sanatorium for the opportunity to not to rush anywhere, to change the scenery, to «recharge the battery» and regain their strength.
The beneficial effects begin as soon as you cross the threshold of the sanatorium. Several factors have a therapeutic effect at once: daily regime, adequate sleep, dietary nutrition, walks along the park terrenkurs, famous mineral water and therapeutic mud — guests will be fully immersed in the resort life. All this complements the individual treatment programme prescribed by the resort therapist.
Wellness programmes with SPA and anti-stress procedures are very popular among the guests of the sanatorium. To really relax and enjoy your holiday, we recommend aerophytotherapy sessions (inhalation of air with aromatic oils), visits to the speleo chamber (salt room), manual and hardware massages, therapeutic showers, soothing baths and swimming in the pool.
The best option would be to opt for a trip of two weeks or more. During this time you can significantly improve your health, feel the effects of treatment, get a good night’s sleep, acquire healthy habits and get in shape.
On the basis of the sports and health centre of the sanatorium you can take a revitalisation course — three-stage wrapping. It includes scrubbing with professional cosmetics, application of a mask-wrapping on the whole body, a session of hardware massage on a special relaxation couch and finally — application of anti-cellulite cream. The procedure promotes relaxation and detox of the body, corrects the body, has anti-cellulite effect, rejuvenates the skin.
Health care
Most often we go to see a doctor when illnesses interfere with our lives and it is impossible to ignore their symptoms. Meanwhile, timely and regular disease prevention helps the body to function smoothly. In the sanatorium you will be given the necessary diagnostics and help to prevent the development of diseases, as long as they do not cause tangible harm.
When choosing a sanatorium, pay attention to the therapeutic profile of the resort. Thus, Yessentuki resort specialises in gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases. The Kazakhstan Sanatorium, which we took as an example, receives more than 5,000 guests annually. Many have been entrusting their health to experienced professionals for years. The medical staff skillfully uses unique mineral waters and therapeutic muds in combination with special rehabilitation techniques and modern equipment.
We were interested in the screening system of primary examination, which is used in the Kazakhstan Sanatorium in addition to the reception of a therapist-surgeon. The unique sensor device provides a comprehensive assessment of the state of the body in a matter of minutes, taking into account risk factors. As a result of the diagnosis, you receive a conclusion on your state of health, individual recommendations on disease prevention, rational nutrition, physical activity, procedures, lifestyle optimisation.
Active holidays
The city of Yessentuki is ideal for those who prefer a measured vacation: stroll through quiet parks, feed squirrels, listen to birdsong, breathe clean air, take photos, enjoy the sounds of fountains. Travel and entertainment lovers will also find something to do on holiday.
A suburban train offers easy access from the city of Yessentuki to the neighbouring resorts of Kislovodsk, Pyatigorsk and Zheleznovodsk. Walk along the terrenkurs, taste water from different springs, take a cable car ride above the city and enjoy the view.
