Balneal Recovery Sanatorium of Techirghiol, Techirghiol, Rumania.
The study was conducted at the Techirghiol
Balneal and Recovery Sanatorium in March 2017 and included 20 patients, of which 8 women and 12 men, diagnosed with primitive coxarthrosis, on the basis of the clinical examination performed by the physician, in conjunction with paraclinical examinations.

balneal resort capitalising on salt water - Ocna Sugatag (fig.1).
