Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 02
Abstract
This research focused on the study of the effect of spa therapy on improving the quality of life, in particular in terms of the areas of physical functionality, psychological functionality, as well as sociality, in people who have problems with the spine (lumbar spine). The dysfunction of people due to their musculoskeletal problems and the ways to deal with them is a challenge for physical therapy. Method: The sample consisted of people with musculoskeletal problems, who were recipients of spa therapy services. Questionnaires were used that record the functionality of individuals in relation to the musculoskeletal problem they face, in this case, the lumbar spine. Results: From the study of the completed questionnaires, information was obtained on gender, age, occupation, health problems and the reasons that prompted the sample to use spa treatments, and the frequency of visits to spa towns. There are clear indications that the use of thermal water with a frequency of at least ten visits per year, favors people with lumbar problems. There is an improvement in mobility (better functionality in the spine), but also in the bathers' quality of life as they perceive a reduction in pain, reduced irritability, and a better mental mood. The professional action of the physical education scientist can play a decisive role in maximizing the effectiveness of the intervention through spa therapy. Conclusions: Physical education can and should have an active role in the development of Bath Therapy. Organization and appropriate actions are required to utilize the results of the research so that it takes its rightful place.
