Home › Retreats › Medically Supervised Weight Loss Retreat in Czech Spa Towns
Czech Republic · 7 days
The programme starts with an initial medical examination. A doctor reviews your health, orders laboratory screening, and writes the treatment plan based on your actual condition — so the mix of therapies you get is not identical to the person in the next room. A nutritional therapist then does a consultation and body composition analysis, which sets the diet for the week. There's a control medical check-up partway through to see how things are going. Meals are five a day, full-board, cooked to the prescribed diet rather than a standard hotel menu.
Treatments run across the week except Sunday. Over seven nights that works out to about 18 treatments. The list includes two anti-cellulite massages, two lymphatic drainage sessions, two underwater massages, two Scottish showers, two myostimulator sessions, two Nordic walking sessions, two group exercise sessions, and one full-body classical massage. The classical and anti-cellulite massages are booked as double treatments, so you get more time on the table than the count alone suggests. Drinking mineral spring water is part of the daily routine, taken on the doctor's advice.
This is not a bootcamp or a fitness retreat in the usual sense. The exercise sits alongside medical therapies, and the point of the week is the combination — the diet, the water, the treatments, and the movement — rather than training hard. The setting is a Czech spa town, the kind of place where the mineral springs and the treatment houses have been the reason people visit for generations.
Accommodation is part of the package and the minimum stay is seven nights. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Children up to three years old stay free. City tax is paid separately by the guest at the hotel reception. Because the programme is medical, what you actually receive is prescribed for you rather than chosen from a list, and the doctor adjusts the plan as the week goes on.
