The establishment of the first German seaside resort in 1793 also saw the start of health treatments in Bad Doberan and Heiligendamm. Even today, combining a sojourn by the sea with long walks and treatments using the local remedy of peat moss, Baltic sea water and the bracing maritime climate guarantees excellent results.Peat spa rehabilitation clinic
The rehabilitation clinic is located just a few kilometres from Mecklenburg's Baltic coast. The bioclimatic influence of the natural, densely wooded region whose climate is moderated by its proximity to the coast, helps the recovery process. State-of-the-art diagnostics and therapies are combined with more than 100 years' experience in improving health using balneology. The natural healing powers of peat, which is cut from the clinic's own moorland, are beneficial for body and mind. The clinic also offers treatments for chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, degenerative rheumatic diseases of the joints and spine, rheumatism of the soft tissues as well as post-operative and post-accident care for damage to the muscles and skeleton, post-operative rehabilitation for the spine and joints, osteoporosis and gynaecological complaints.
