Federal Center for Medical Rehabilitation and Balneology. Russian Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine and Balneology

HEADED BY THE CENTER:Doctor of Medical Sciences, ProfessorGerasimenko Marina Yurievna.

FSBI "RRC MRiK" of the Ministry of Health of Russia has centuries of experience in the field of rehabilitation and balneology and is popularly referred to as “RESORT ON ARBAT”.

Our center uses a unique combination of various classical and innovative rehabilitation methods, the only one in the Russian Federation, based on clinical experience in the application of modern world scientific research methods.

The center provides rehabilitation for patients with diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system, pathologies of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and genitourinary systems of the body, after surgical interventions on large joints and the spine, oncological and cardiological operations.

The motor function of the limbs is being restored using highly modern robotic complexes with a virtual reality reproduction system.

Treatment of pain syndromes of the musculoskeletal system and limited joint mobility is carried out using mechanotherapeutic equipment and an anti-gravity system that reproduces the state of weightlessness.

Rehabilitation treatment is carried out using classical and latest methods of physiotherapeutic procedures present only in our center: high-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (HILT), optimized low-intensity laser therapy (LLLT), pulsed low-frequency electrostatic therapy (Hivamat system), general magnet therapy and other.

In a set of measures for the rehabilitation of patients with various diseases, mineral water is used in the drinking gallery of the center from its own underground source - “Moscow Mineral Water”, as well as techniques: colon hydrotherapy, gynecological and intestinal irrigation with mineral water.

A unique method is presented for improving microcirculation of the lower extremities in obliterating diseases using a non-drug method using a Kneipp path - these are alternating reservoirs with cold (12 degrees) and warm (28-30 degrees) water.

It is possible to receive an influx of vital energy and solve problems with chronic fatigue, nervous overstrain, insomnia, and stress using the unique (the only one in Moscow) stationary cryo sauna CRYO Air - 110, where cryo effects are carried out on the entire body.

Feel the state of weightlessness, perhaps in a specially equipped float chamber. During the session, a person lies in a saturated solution of water from the ancient underground ocean (its own source), which keeps the body afloat, like in the “Dead Sea”. In a state of weightlessness, where gravity is compensated and the water temperature is equal to body temperature to within 0.1 degrees, relaxation automatically occurs, a level of which is inaccessible under other conditions. If you are not an astronaut, then floating This is your only chance to experience weightlessness.

The combination of a Turkish and Russian sauna with a “snow room” and a swimming pool is not only pleasure, but also healing. In the sauna, the body relaxes, and in the snow room, blood vessels and muscles become toned. Due to a sharp change in temperature, blood vessels expand and contract, as a result, blood supply improves, metabolic processes intensify and the body gets rid of toxins.

Without leaving the city, you have the opportunity to receive therapeutic procedures in the pool with Rapa mineral water (water of the ancient underground ocean), which in its chemical composition and medicinal properties is superior to the sea water of the Dead Sea.

It is possible to undergo a course of effective treatment for diseases of the bronchopulmonary system in the “Salt Cave” (speleo- and halochambers), where the natural microclimate of natural karst salt caves and mine faces is recreated. According to its properties, the salt aerosol located in the salt cave has effective natural hypobacterial, hypoallergenic and ionizing properties, and also has a unique positive psychotherapeutic effect on the human body.

The center conducts a comprehensive program on active longevity "Anti-age therapy".

This program includes: consultations with a nutritionist, endocrinologist and assessment of body composition using a computerized BOD POD camera. Application of hardware cosmetology techniques on cutting-edge equipment: laser installation “SmartXcideDOT”, “SYNCHRO FT”, radiofrequency lifting and lipolysis installation “EXILIS ELITE”, methods of classical reflexology and hardware reflexology, hydrotherapy (contrast shower, aerohydromassage, Aqua therapy in the pool, Charcot shower , underwater shower-massage, various types of wraps and baths).

The effectiveness of the rehabilitation is assessed using ultrasound, functional, x-ray, and endoscopic diagnostics using the latest generation expert-class equipment.

Without leaving the city, and without interrupting your daily routine and work, by visiting our Center, you have the opportunity in the very heart of Moscow to undergo a full course of sanatorium treatment and a cycle of recovery.

Story

State Institute of Physiotherapy

On the initiative of the Moscow Physico-Therapeutic Society, in 1911-1912 a project was developed to create an Institute of Physical Treatment Methods in Moscow with a clinic and experimental base. It was approved already in Soviet times, on May 20, 1920, by the decision of the board of the People's Commissariat of Health of the RSFSR. The institute was allocated a building on Petrovka Street, house 25. Its organization was led by Professor Samuil Borisovich Vermel.

In the early years, the State Institute of Physiotherapy paid great attention to therapeutic exercises and massage, prosthetics, vocational training for disabled military personnel, and sports medicine. One of the main tasks of the institute was the development and implementation of physiotherapy methods in the work of practical institutions. Clinical departments (therapy, neurology, orthopedics) were gradually opened. In 1922, a biophysical laboratory was opened. At the same time, at the small factory “Bureau of Precision Mechanics”, the design and production of the first models of domestic physiotherapeutic equipment began.

State Central Institute of Balneology

In 1918, in Moscow at the address: Sadovo-Samotechnaya Street, building 10, in the premises of a former gymnasium, the military department, together with the People's Commissariat of Health, opened a Balneological selection hospital with 200 beds, the functions of which included triage of the wounded and sick before sending them to resorts. Since 1920 it was called the Resort Distribution Hospital. In the activities of the hospital, elements of a scientific approach to the problem are clearly visible, namely: the first instructions were created defining indications and contraindications for referral to resorts, the immediate and long-term results of balneotherapy for various diseases and injuries were studied.

In February 1921, the All-Russian Congress on Resort Business took place in Moscow. Based on the provisions of I. A. Bagashev, the congress in its resolutions recommended the creation in Moscow of a central scientific institute for the study of the resorts of the Republic. In July 1921, 3 departments of the Central Resort Clinic with 60 beds were opened on the premises of the Resort Distribution Hospital (director - V. A. Alexandrov). Among the tasks of the clinic were diagnosis and study of the clinical course of diseases to be treated at resorts, research of the therapeutic effect of physical factors, methodological work and training of health resort specialists.

On July 16, 1926, the clinic was renamed the State Institute of Balneology, and on September 26, 1926 - the State Central Institute of Balneology. New divisions, renewal of scientific personnel, installation of new equipment, expansion of the list of balneological procedures and other treatment methods, publication of scientific works - all this allowed the institute to take its place as a leading scientific institution.

In 1934, the institute received a plot of land on Bolshoi Novinsky Lane on the site of the former Novinsky Monastery. A project for the institute complex was created and, despite significant difficulties, the main wing of the complex was built. The Institute, without interrupting work, moved to a specially equipped new premises, which was distinguished by rich decoration made to special orders (from window frames and panels made of precious wood to glass, door handles, lamps, curtains and bed linen).

Central Research Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy

In 1958, the State Central Institute of Balneology and the State Institute of Physiotherapy were merged into the State Research Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy of the Ministry of Health of the RSFSR, which 2 years later was transferred to the Ministry of Health of the USSR with a changed name - the Central Research Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy. The Institute became a leader among single-disciplinary scientific institutions in different regions of the USSR (the total number of research institutes, branches and independent laboratories reached 24); from that moment on, many of them also indicated both main areas of specialization in their names.

In 1966, the Central Research Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy was headed by Professor Yuri Efimovich Danilov. Under him, the authority of the parent institute increased, and the interaction between specialized research institutes of balneology and physiotherapy became closer. The area adjacent to the institute was cleared of log barracks. Construction of a country clinic began in the village of Yudino, Odintsovo district, Moscow region.

During the same period, through the efforts of Professor V.T. Olefirenko, the balneological hospital was completely rebuilt and two wells were drilled to supply natural mineral water for external and internal use. The drinking gallery for public use, designed in the form of a greenhouse, was not inferior in quality to the quality of the interior of the best foreign resorts.

For services in the development of its branch of science and in training personnel, the Central Research Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor in 1973.

Russian Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine and Balneology

In 1998, the research institute was reorganized into the Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine and Balneology of the Russian Ministry of Health, whose director was appointed corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (now Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences), Professor Alexander Nikolaevich Razumov. Subsequently, the name of the Center was clarified as “Russian Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine and Balneology of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation,” and the Center’s status as the country’s leading institution in its professional field was confirmed.

The main task in the work of the Federal State Institution “Russian Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine and Balneology of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia” is the unification of primary and secondary prevention, health protection of a healthy person and medical rehabilitation.

By the end of the 20th century, the main building of the institute became obsolete. In connection with the need to create, on the basis of existing traditions and resources, a new federal-level center that would meet modern requirements, a project has been developed to create a unique modern multifunctional health-rehabilitation and scientific-educational complex on this site. In October 2010, Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation Viktor Aleksandrovich Linok was appointed director of the Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine and Balneology of the Russian Ministry of Health.
