Starting the day in the Rachel Pool

After a light breakfast the patient visits the Rachel Pool. This is filled with highly mineralized geothermal water at 37-40 degrees C.

Relaxing the body in preparation for a full day's programme. Loosen the joints and relax setting yourself up for an active day ahead.

Evidence shows that in addition to the relaxing heat, the mineralisation of geothermal water is highly beneficial for healing in musculoskeletal disorders.

Gymnasium

A highly trained fitness expert will develop a personalised exercise routine that strengthens the body. Our gym is a comfortable place designed for people who do not usually go to gymnasiums to begin working their way back to health.

Drawing on diverse disciplines including pilates, Tai Chi and Nordic walking the QE Health gymnasium focuses on restoring health. Specialised programmes include back health restoration, joint flexibility for newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Counselling

After a busy morning the patient relaxes for a short period before a discussion with one of our counselling team.

These are trained psychologists schooled on QE health's own health change process theory, which aims to empower the person to put his or her disease into perspective and retake charge of their lives.

Work through the anxiety and stress that result from a chronic condition with our highly trained counsellers.

Mud Pack or Wax Therapy

Enjoy the relaxation that comes from absorbing the soothing heat of our mud pack or wax therapies.

Targeting specific areas of your, body these treatments infuse warmth to relax muscles and alleviate joint pain.

Mud Pack - Thermal mud wrapped in towels is applied to areas of the body to decrease tension and pain. Mud is not applied directly to the skin and a maximum of two packs are applied at one time.

Wax (to one hand or foot) - Immersion of hands or feet into a hot paraffin wax to alleviate joint pain and stiffness and increase flexibility.

Occupational Therapy (OT)

Chronic disabling conditions like arthritis can severely limit a person's activities. Our OT team work with people to rediscover their creativity and ability to get things done.

Relearn how to do those activities whose doing you once took for granted. Our specialised teaching and tools cover activities as diverse as cooking, sweeping, gardening, artwork, to name a few.

Education

A class of 5 people sits with one of our team to learn about the condition they live with. When a condition is understood it is easier to deal with.

Knowledge is power. Enabling our patients to understand their condition is part of rehabilitation. We strip away myths and focus the patient on the condition and the best ways to cope with it.

Classes are given by our Rheumatologist / Rheumatology Nurse, Counseling, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy staff.

Massage & Pyretics

The mainstay of our spa is our massage and pyretic service. Our fully trained masseuses offer a range of services including standard massage, Aix massage using warm jets of geothermal water to reflexology and lymphatic drainage.

Our Pyretic Steam bath is ideal for releasing tender muscles and soothing sensitive nerves. While lying on an enclosed bed and wrapped in towels, thermal heated steam wafts around you encouraging detoxification and complete relaxation. (30 minutes)

Massage does not just relax, it also heals. Our highly trained masseuses can work with you to loosen knots, relieve muscular tension and promote the flow of energy throughout your body.

Relaxed Group Leisure Activities

Using our recreational hall or occupational facilities, patients are encouraged to mingle, relax and socialize. Whether over hobbies, the pool table or bowls, patients can get to know one another swap stories, and develop friendships.

You are not alone. Others at QE Health are going through similar experiences. Get to mingle, talk about things and relax after a busy day.
