Modern therapy at the heart of the health resort

The Pomeranian Rheumatology Centre, located right next to the famous Sopot pier, houses a modern brine pool. It is here that 30-minute rehabilitation sessions are conducted with the participation of qualified physiotherapists.

How does brine work?

Bathing in Sopot brine has a multifaceted effect on the body:

• For the skin: stimulate receptors, improve circulation and accelerate local metabolism.
• Detoxification: thanks to the exchange of ions between water and skin, they support the cleansing of the body.
• Nervous system: have a relaxing and analgesic effect, reducing nervous tension.
