The consequences of the infection and the emerging post-covid syndrome appeared to affect many systems and organs with a variety of clinical symptoms. Already in the first months of the spread of the infection in the country, it became clear that a part of the patients needed rehabilitation. We created tailor made programms for health recovery of the people, after Covid sickness.
THE MAIN GOAL of our program is to restore the health status of people who have passed the infection with COVID-19, which is expressed in increasing lung capacity, improving oxygen saturation, correspondingly reducing the feeling of fatigue, restoring physical and psycho-emotional activity.

The city has been famous for its hot mineral waters since ancient times. During the period of the Roman Empire, a large thermal center was built and the city was called Ulpia Pautalia
The physicochemical characteristics of the water define it as hyperthermal (73⁰С) weakly mineralized (0.620 g/l), containing hydrocarbonate, sulfate, sodium and fluoride ions. The water contains hydrogen sulfide (12 mg/l) and is rich in metasilicic acid (72 mg/l). It has a markedly low redox potential ( ORP ) < -200 mV. The climate of Kyustendil is determined by its location and is characterized as moderately continental with a Mediterranean influence, with hot and sunny summers and warm, dry and long autumns.
