Thermal Wraps and Cupping

A menu of heat-based wraps and cupping at Carlsbad Clinic for pain relief, circulation and relaxation. Warm peat wraps and the combined peat bath-and-wrap deliver deep, soothing heat to muscles and joints; the paraffin hand treatment warms and softens stiff hands; and cupping uses suction cups associated with easing muscle tension and supporting local circulation. These short treatments complement the clinic's massage and rehabilitation menus during a spa stay.

Carlsbad Clinic's thermal wraps and cupping menu uses heat and suction to ease pain, support circulation and relax tense tissue, drawing on the spa town's long tradition of peat and thermal therapies. Peat wraps (700 Kč, 20 min) apply warm, mineral-rich peat to the body, delivering deep, even heat that is associated with relaxing muscles, easing joint stiffness and supporting circulation — a classic balneological treatment for chronic musculoskeletal complaints. The combined peat bath with wrap (990 Kč, 40 min) extends this into a fuller, more immersive heat treatment. The paraffin hand treatment (350 Kč, 20 min) coats the hands in warm paraffin to soften skin and warm stiff finger joints, which guests with osteoarthritis of the hands often find soothing. Cupping (900 Kč, 25 min) places suction cups on the skin to create negative pressure, a traditional technique associated with easing muscular tension, supporting local blood flow and relieving tight, knotted areas, commonly used over the back and shoulders. These treatments are passive and comfortable, require no recovery time, and combine naturally with the clinic's massage, manual therapy and physiotherapy so heat and hands-on work reinforce each other. Who benefits: guests with chronic muscle and joint stiffness, those wanting deep relaxation, and visitors with stiff hands who appreciate the paraffin treatment. Heat treatments carry some cardiovascular and skin-integrity considerations, and cupping can leave temporary circular marks, so selection follows the clinic's initial medical examination and contraindications such as broken skin, acute inflammation or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease are screened. No special preparation is needed beyond arriving hydrated, and the therapist advises on which treatments and frequency suit your plan.
