Thermotherapy is the usage of heat or cold. There are several methods to use heat in the therapy.

 

As red light (hot air), fango or peloid pack, hot roll, as bath or hot affusion. Heat is primarily used to relax tensed up muscles. Cold can also be used for example in case of acute and/or flammable troubles. Cold can be applied as ice (ice cube, ice lolly), cold affusions / partial bath, gel packages or cooling compresses (curd cheese/cabbage). A special feature of the Krumbad is its Badstein. It can be used both cold and warm. It is very effective for many troubles especially as compresses or for mud kneading.
