How do Questos - Polish Health Resorts differ from traditional spas?

Questos - Polish Health Resorts differ from traditional spas in that they offer not only traditional spa therapies, but also the kind of medical treatment provided in hospitals, performed by highly trained medical personnel, under supervision of licensed healthcare professionals.

While traditional spas can offer a luxurious, pampered experience, their treatments typically focus on areas such as beauty treatments. A Polish Health Resort, however, provides genuine remedial benefits, while treating problems such as: obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatism, stress, heart, spine, respiratory system, motor organ disorders, neuroses, dermatology, neurological, gynaecological, endocrine, gastrointestinal and urological problems.

Sometimes described as a fusion of quality hospital-standard treatments with all the trappings of a traditional spa, Polish Health Resorts uniquely offer a combination of the best of natural medicine treatments with more mainstream approaches.

More than just an effective treatment program...

Treatment programs tend to last from between two to three week inclusive packages – room and full board (3 meals) with 3-4 daily treatments and a consultation with a doctor. The program of treatment is determined by the doctor during an initial consultation at the beginning of a patient’s stay. Patients may bring a companion along for company, who would only pay for accommodation costs and receive no treatments. Children are also welcome at the resort for treatment.

Treatments are performed by experts in the field, and patients on curative programs benefit from supervision by on-site doctors and highly trained medical personnel. Such doctors have comprehensive knowledge and a high level of skill in their particular field. The professional standards that Polish Health Resorts adhere to are regulated and controlled by the Polish Department of Health.

Questos - Polish Health Resorts predominately offers medical treatments e.g. physiotherapy, drug therapy or kinezotherapy, some common spa treatments are also available, such as balneotherapy, pelotherapy and massage.

Questos offer the best of both worlds, so you can be confident you are in safe hands and will receive the cream of what mainstream and natural medicine have to offer.

The effectiveness of such treatments is supported by the sheer number of state-funded patients who are prescribed a stay at a resort.

Throughout central Europe, health resort treatments have been officially recognised by healthcare professionals and medical bodies and organisations for over 200 years. Advances in technology and developments in scientific fields have complemented and added to the repertoire of available treatments and their effectiveness e.g. traditional treatments, such as balneotherapy have been enhanced by various forms of physiotherapy, making use of the most sophisticated equipment.

Health resort treatments are successful in bringing relief from ailments ranging from atherosclerosis, hypertension, arthritis, slipped disk, joint pain, indigestion to infertility, eczema, neuralgia and chronic colds.

A breath of fresh air?

Apart from the curative side of resorts - replete with medical staff, patients and hospital equipments present – a stay can be considered more of a holiday than merely healing sojourn. Resorts boast sports facilities, organised outings and local tourist attractions e.g. walking routes, skiing resorts or water attractions.

Located in congenial, picturesque settings, resorts are nested amongst mountains and forests in natural locations untouched and untarnished by the modern industrial world. Resorts are situated in charming, small, old towns with a long lasting spa tradition.

To sum up, a stay at a Questos - Polish Health Resorts is not only a welcome break to unwind surrounded by nature in charming, peaceful settings and, above all, offers significant health benefits or even lead to a cure.
