All guests checking into the ADLER Spa Resort Balance for medical reasons must first undergo a preliminary consultation with the in-house medical team of the Adler Spa Resort. This medical consultation includes basic blood tests and private coaching sessions focusing on running techniques. There’s also a kinesiology consultation involving a manual muscle test that investigates the functional relationship linking muscle activity, the body’s meridians and reflex zones. These consultations will help doctors recommend the appropriate therapeutic approach.
