In collaboration with the Tartu University
Project: Continuing the study of the effects of water immersion and other spa treatments performed at the Värska Health Resort Center on the biomechanical properties of muscles. Conducting studies of the possibilities of implementing new rehabilitation methods
This study continues the study completed in 2020. The aim is to collect more data and, in addition to the existing immersion procedures, also study the effects of vibroacoustic therapy and mechanical massage chairs on the same basis.

Applied research on smart specialization
Project: Study of the effects of water immersion procedures performed at the Värska Health Resort Center based on the mechanical properties of muscles. Conducting studies of the possibilities of implementing new rehabilitation methods.
Smart project NSP192 (2014-2020.4.02.18-0135)
The main objective of the project is to study and analyze the physical and chemical properties of the mineral water and therapeutic mud procedures offered at the Värska Health Resort Center and the impact of their effects on healthy or sick people, and to find new application possibilities for immersion procedures.
Initial tasks of the study:
1. To study the rehabilitation procedures currently used in Värska using a methodology that evaluates the mechanical properties of muscles.
2. As a result of the analysis, to consider the possibilities of implementing a novel approach to immersion procedures.

Project: The effect of therapeutic mud and mineral water bath procedures on muscle tension in working-age people and the effect of a general therapeutic mud bath and a general therapeutic mud wrap on patients diagnosed with high blood pressure
EU52376 (2014-2020.5.4.1)
Brief description: During the project, 2 studies will be conducted in 3 companies:
1. The effect of general therapeutic mud and mineral water bath procedures on muscle tension in working-age people (AS Värska Sanatorium);
2. The effect of a general therapeutic mud bath and a general therapeutic mud wrap procedure on patients diagnosed with high blood pressure (AS Värska Sanatorium, AS HEAL, AS Sanatorium Tervis).
As a result, new:
– knowledge about the effects of therapeutic mud baths and mineral water on preventing and relieving muscle tension
– knowledge about the effects of therapeutic mud general bath and general wrap procedures on patients diagnosed with high blood pressure
– input into mud therapy packages and expanding clientele
