It is one of the most known treatment methods, which was introduced by Dr. Károly Moll in Hévíz.
The Patient is anchored on neck, fortified on arms. He hangs in water, has on back and foot ankles weights of 2 - 20 kg fixed with a belt.

The target of this treatment method is to stretch the spine. By using the upward pressure of the water we can get the spine, the hip and the knee to be extended. Release of the vertebral disks, smaller nervous roots, cessation of smaller vertabra or small joints dislocations, moderation of taenia and muscle atrophy, release of contractures and decrease in chronic inflammatory processes can be expected from the weight bath. We carry out the treatment as a cure of 10-15 occasions by neck or armpit support using gradually increasing weights (placed on the waist or the leg).

• spondylosis, spondylarthrosis (inflexibility of the spondyl joints)
