In the comprehensive  spa treatment we use a natural healing source – healing water in forms of drinking cure and healing bath. The biological meaning of the iodine bath lies in the thermal, chemical and mechanical effects. As well it acts as a moisturizer and it acts antiseptically, and it has disinfection effects. It stimulates the process of diffusion and resorption of inflammatory processes, iodine accelerates the transfer of the temperature by the skin. From the hydrotherapy procedures  we use the ozone bath, whirpool with subaquatic massage, massage pool - beachcomber, rehabilitation pool. Rehabilitation – healing physical education is a process. If this process is individually indicated on time, it is safe for children, without any side effects, they are effective and not painful. Knowledgeable physiotherapists applies  all the healing methodology  for the renewal  of the disrupted  functions, modification of the balance in the muscular system, to achieve self-reliance of the individuals, independence. It means to have a possibilty of self-realization in the society. The breathing activities have  a special status. Within the kineziotherapy we use kinetic energy  for treating by work – ergotherapy and healing massage. Electrotherapy uses low frequency, middle frequency and high frequency treatment streams. Thermotherapy – positive thermotherapy – the heat for the tissue is given by paraffin treatment, paphang,  peat wrap. We use as well polarized light - Bioptron lamp, unpolarized electromagnetic radiation in the UV + infrared spectrum. Since 1999 in the natural iodine spa Číž, joint stock company, we have serviced hippotherapy, as a rehabilitation method which comes out the neurophysiological basis, this method uses an animal – a horse as a rehabilitation tool. During the spa treatment, speech care is assured in cooperation with a speech therapist, a pedagogue and  a health care worker. We assure a regular, harmonic ordered life in the spa house by a scheduled and prepared daily regime. We monitor the purposeful coordination of all the manipulations with the client: treatments, education, boarding, rest, after-school activities, cultural activities. The individual regime is for ensuring a correct treatment of the client according to his disease, age, educational, psychological and social needs. The location of the spa house- outside a busy traffic, a well-ordered park with a sandpit and swings affects the children positively. The surrounding gives possibilities to be enriched by the impressions  during  walking.  During the free time we use fitness, gym, bowling, minigolf and tennis court. Important attractions are the outdoor swimming pools and an internet corner. The spa treatment of children is successful, when there is a union of beneficial influence of a whole set of factors which affects mainly when there is an irritation of the  proprioreceptors on the central nervous system and then reflexively on each organ and the whole organism in the presence of a neurohumoral component. That way the convenient  reactivity  of the child´s organism is influenced, its adaptative abilities improve, and the immunity  and the total realignment of the organism is increased.
