Safety & Etiquette
Bohemia-Lazne Spa Hotel Krivan Safety Tips
Bohemia-Lazne Spa Hotel Krivan is generally safe as a medically supervised spa hotel with qualified doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and non-stop emergency nursing care throughout operating hours. The main safety considerations are the balneotherapy procedures, pool use, and sauna circuit protocol.
All balneotherapy procedures at the Krivan are prescribed after a medical consultation and supervised by qualified medical staff. If visiting for treatment, complete the pre-stay medical assessment and inform the doctors of all existing conditions, medications, or allergies before the first procedure. Self-directed balneotherapy without medical assessment is not appropriate and may cause adverse effects for people with cardiovascular, blood pressure, or metabolic conditions.
The pool at approximately 28 to 31 degrees Celsius is suitable for most guests; limit counter-current and massage bench sessions to comfortable durations. In the sauna corner: begin with the Finnish or infrared sauna for 10 to 15 minutes, cool down in the ice cabin gradually, and rest before repeating. The steam sauna is more humid than the Finnish; reduce session length accordingly. The ice cabin cooling is more intense than a standard cold pool; first-time users should limit initial cooling to 30 to 60 seconds. People with heart conditions, pacemakers, or severe circulatory disorders should not use the sauna circuit without explicit medical clearance from the on-site doctor. Drink water throughout any pool and sauna session. Do not enter the pool immediately after a heavy meal.
