the path to healthy movement

We don’t just treat the symptoms of your health problems, we look for the cause. We will deal with your emergency and advise you on prevention. We will give you individual attention and look for the best way to help your body move in a healthy and natural way. With our help,  you will feel good again, whether you have a specific musculoskeletal problem or want to prevent a sports injury. We are here for you.

The foundation of our therapeutic approach is exercise based on certified international concepts. Some stem from developing movements that our body first learnt at an early age, and others involve lifting your limbs with the help of aids so that even the weakest muscle can be properly engaged. These types of training are designed to repair the damage our modern lifestyle leaves on our bodies.

In addition to exercise, the Kapka resort physiotherapy department also offers screenings with the high tech Footscan pressure plate, and oxygen therapy (inhalations of molecular hydrogen and hydrogen inhalation in a hyperbaric chamber, electrotherapy and liquid nitrogen vapour treatments).

initial
examination .

At your first appointment with the physiotherapist you will undergo an initial examination or a kinesiological analysis. This involves a series of tests that allow the therapist to discover what is bothering you, and to choose the best therapy option. This initial assessment takes 50 minutes, and costs the same as an individual therapy session.

50 min.

 

individual
therapy .

Based on the initial examination, we will select the ideal type of therapeutic treatment and technique. Each individual therapy session lasts 50 minutes and is conducted in a one-on-one style, with the therapist focusing solely on you and your problem.

electrotherapy .

Electrotherapy has become a traditional complement to physiotherapy. Therapists around the world use its pain-relieving effects to prepare patients prior to treatment, to relax sore muscles or to exercise weakened muscles. The length of electrotherapy sessions vary according to the type of current.

6-20 min.

 

kinesiotaping .

You’re probably familiar with taping. Flexible adhesive tapes, when applied correctly, act as injury prevention and promote healing. They support your muscles to work actively and to protect them at the same time. The length of this procedure depends on the type of tape application, usually around 10 minutes.

   cca. 10 min.

hyperbaric oxygen therapy .

Oxygen therapy oxygenates the tissues, accelerates healing, alleviates pain and eliminates inflammation. Using a breathing mask, you inhale oxygen at a pressure of about two atmospheres for approximately 60 minutes. You may only undergo this type of treatment with the permission of your doctor.

   60 min.

molecular hydrogen inhalation .

At Kapka resort, you can experience this recent hit in health-care. Hydrogen has a positive effect on any conditions related to inflammation. Hydrogen therapy has been used to speed up recovery after sports or illness, to treat post-covid symptoms and to alleviate fatigue and support well-being.

   30 min.

local
cryotherapy .

Cryotherapy is frost therapy. The practitioner applies liquid nitrogen vapours at temperatures as low as -160°C directly to your skin. The treated area is cooled intensively and blood circulation is significantly increased. This localized therapy is used to treat acute closed wounds, post-traumatic conditions, joint pain or local inflammation.

   60 min.

footscan .

Our therapist, with qualified podiatrist and shoemaker Veronika Benschová, will measure your feet on a cutting-edge device by Footscan, which detects the distribution of the load your legs and feet carry. She then uses this information to consult you on your problems and makes therapeutic recommendations.
