The health resort tourism industry has been experiencing a real renaissance in recent years. Now no one would think of saying that “a health resort is only for pensioners”. Renovated modern health resorts offer a wide range of health programs and additional services, allowing you to completely reboot and feel a surge of fresh energy in just a couple of weeks, which is especially important for the eternally rushing residents of large cities.

1. Health and beauty procedures

The main reason to choose a vacation at a health resort is specialized treatment programs. The doctor will select the number and sequence of procedures for you individually. As a rule, the package already includes a course of treatment, and if necessary, you can always buy additional services.

The AZIMUT Health Mys Vidny sanatorium offers an impressive list of procedures: hardware physiotherapy, balneological treatment, ozone therapy, speleotherapy and much more. In the absence of chronic diseases, you can choose a wellness program without specific treatment, aimed at relieving stress, improving overall health and increasing vitality - it certainly won't hurt anyone!

The health resorts offer not only treatment programs, but also care programs. In the sanatorium RZD-Health Oktyabrsky you can use the non-surgical facial rejuvenation service - plasma lifting, and in RZD-Health Zhemchuzhina Zauralya - take the legendary “Cleopatra's bath” with whey, honey and essential oils, which makes the skin soft and silky. Certified massage therapists RZD-Health Chernomorie perform various types of aesthetic and therapeutic massage, and in the SPA center RZD-Health Buran you will be offered chocolate and seaweed wraps.

2. Compliance with the daily routine

Since childhood, we have known how useful the correct daily routine is and how harmful its absence is. We know, we still need to comply! Fortunately, in the sanatorium the problem is solved by itself: breakfast, lunch, dinner, as well as all procedures take place at a strictly defined time. There is no escape here – you will have to go to bed and get up on time, and also eat “on the clock”. 

Over the 2-3 weeks that a stay at a sanatorium usually takes, the body gets used to living according to a routine. As a result, sleep improves, well-being and mood improve, and performance increases. The main thing is to maintain the results achieved upon returning home. 

3. Proper nutrition

If you can't seem to lose those harmful 3 kilograms, perhaps a vacation at a sanatorium is just what you need. Instead of alcoholic cocktails, there will be oxygen cocktails, instead of fast food, there will be healthy porridges and salads, and, as already mentioned, a diet according to the regime.

The sanatorium RZD-Health Ivushka offers guests a balanced and tasty three-meal menu, which includes lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy products, porridges, soups, dietary meats and fish. Meals are served buffet style, and you can also order dishes.

In addition to the standard diet, nutritionists create a special menu taking into account certain diseases. For example, in the sanatorium AZIMUT Health Yantar, therapeutic nutrition is represented by diets No. 5,7,8,9,10,15, which are prescribed by the attending physician. 

In the absence of contraindications, the sanatorium menu can be easily diversified. Cafe “Bochka” (RZD-Health Dolina Narzanov Nalchik) offers guests delicious dishes of Caucasian cuisine, and in the bar “Resort Romance” (AZIMUT Health Dolina Narzanov Kislovodsk) you can have a cup of coffee with ice cream or dessert.

4. Physical activity

Physical education and sports are important the most important components of spa treatment. Physical therapy, aqua aerobics, and Nordic walking classes are conducted by experienced instructors and can significantly improve your well-being. The training takes place in a comfortable mode and is accessible even to people who are not very athletic.

Therapeutic walking with alternating ascents and descents perfectly trains the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The routes of the terrain cures in RZD-Health Transsib are laid along the most beautiful places of the main Altai resort Belokurikha, which makes the walk a true pleasure.

The sports and health complex of the RZD-Health Volzhskie Dali sanatorium has all the conditions for effective training and active recreation. There is an aqua complex, a modern gym with a variety of exercise machines, a gym for playing team sports.

5. Beautiful nature and attractions

Health resorts are located on the territory of ecologically clean resort areas in the most beautiful corners of our country. Take advantage of the wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beauty and calming effect of the pristine nature of the Caucasus, Altai, Trans-Urals, the Black Sea coast or Central Russia.

To make your vacation memorable for a long time, be sure to go on a short trip through the picturesque surroundings. The sanatoriums AZIMUT Health Essentuki and RZD-Health Verner offer guests signature excursions to the cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters and individual jeep tours to the republics of the Caucasus.
