Physical therapy – Scandinavian walking

The surroundings of Upper Fiagdon are ideal for therapeutic and wellness walking. In combination with physical therapy programs, it helps to gently strengthen the body, improve endurance and maintain the health of the musculoskeletal system.

Benefits and techniques

Nordic walking involves up to 90% of the muscles of the neck, shoulder girdle, back, body and legs. Special sticks reduce the stress on the joints and spine, making exercise safe and effective.

To maximize the benefits of walking, it is important to follow the correct technique — our experts will help you master it and choose a comfortable pace.

Routes and recommendations

The walks take place along the scenic routes of the Kurtatinsky gorge. They differ in the angle of ascent, length and rhythm. We select the route according to your level of training and doctor's recommendations.
