Administration of procedures:

Jet shower (Charcot)

The patient is standing at a distance of 3-4 m from the shower platform. A jet of water is directed to the patient's body from the bottom up: first by a fan jet, and then by a compact jet under pressure of 2-3 atm. The abdomen is massaged at a pressure of 1.5 atm in circular movements clockwise. This procedure allows improvement of the blood circulation of the body surface, has an effect on the muscles, has a positive effect on the central nervous system and metabolism in the body.
