Medical tourists enjoy wellness breaks in Poland

8-Oct-2008

According to StatMedica, Poland boasts a multitude of spa resorts which offer a range of enticing treatments, ideal for anyone recuperating after medical treatment.

Managing partner Lukasz Liese, who is based in Warsaw, commented: "While it is true that Poland is an attractive destination for patients seeking a high standard of dental treatment and surgery, it is also emerging as a popular destination for affordable spa treatments and relaxing breaks."

Spokeswoman Alison Hope added: "While guests can expect popular spa treatments such as saunas, steam rooms and massage, spa resorts in Poland also focus on the relationship between health and wellbeing, with many having a doctor, nutritionist and physiotherapist on site."

She noted that many Polish spas also offer unique treatments such as salt caves, thermal baths and kryotherapy - a treatment that involves a short period in a freezing room and that is believed to be beneficial for rheumatism, osteoporosis and cellulite.

Poland could be the ideal destination for a wellness break as it is affordable and easily accessible from the UK.
