The three months of the new year have flown by, but not for our bodies. Fatigue and sleep deprivation affect our general well-being and we need to recover. It seems that this requires at least a week’s vacation. But we know that the power of the mountains can help us recover much faster. All it takes is a couple days in the clean mountain air and a few treatments to truly rest and reboot.
To find out whether it is realistic to replenish your strength and energy over the weekend, we went to the popular ski resort Rosa Khutor to the SKI&SPA Hotel Rosa Springs.

A special device compresses certain parts of the body one by one, as if it were enveloped by water at sea depths. Due to this, excess fluid from the tissues is displaced into the bloodstream.
The procedure lasts 30 minutes with pleasant relaxing music. I can honestly say that pain and fatigue instantly go away, and then do not want to get up afterwards.
