About the centre

Our approach is based on psychosomatic medicine and clinical practice. We believe that the manifestation of external health problems sometimes belie their real causes. Thus, our aim is not to eliminate the symptoms, but to find and cure the roots of an illness or imbalance.

Our treatment system is designed to maximise the quality of life. Based on our expert knowledge and practical experience gained both in the Czech Republic and abroad, we strongly emphasise complex and top quality care in treating our clients. We employ natural therapy methods combined with top-quality modern technology. We learn from the experience of ancient masters and, at the same time, we follow the newest developments in science that can help you improve or renew your health.

If coping with your health or psychical difficulty is not within your own powers, we can help. When applying any of our wide range of procedures and services, we always take an individual approach, an attitude that we have been using successfully since the 1990s. For us, it does not matter if you come with a minor scar to be treated, if you feel down after a personal loss, if you are experiencing long-term problems with walking, or if you are preparing to undergo surgery (in which case we can either strengthen and prepare your body for it or even try to help make the intervention unnecessary). In all these cases, we will pay full attention to all your needs and take care of them under one roof.

People from different parts of the world have similar wishes. We aim for the general strengthening of a person’s mind and body and to contribute to his or her happiness and well-being. We believe that these are needs that go beyond the borders of states, cultures and religions.

Motto: “The change comes when you stop.”

The centre of preventive medicine AltheaPrague is a private medical facility providing complex services, including:

• lifestyle disease prevention
• healthy lifestyle
• rehabilitation
• psychotherapy
• psychosomatics
• alternative medicine

In 2014 the centre moved to newly restored premises in Prague 2, close to Jiřího z Poděbrad Square. Our team, a group of qualified and experienced experts, will provide you with the best possible care of your mind and body and offer you services that best fit your individual needs. We cannot imagine our work without following up-to-date trends in medical care and without continuously learning new things.

As well as offering you complex rehabilitation and psychotherapeutic services, we can also recommend ways in which you can contribute to your health by changing your lifestyle appropriately. We will advise you on how to help yourselves, on how to reduce your problems or how to avoid them completely. Our specialists’ main wish is that you find everything you need at our facility to your full satisfaction. We will be happy to help you at any time, and we will try to find a suitable solution to any problem you may contact us with.

Science and evidence-based medicine do not recognize the work with  certain procedures in natural medicine or their medical significance and use. This is due to the lack of proofs in the sense of evidence-based medicine (EBM). As we interpret it, knowing what objectively applies to a group of averaged individuals is, of course, extremely important for certain medical disciplines. But even this approach is limited, especially in the field of prevention and improvement of health, maintenance and prolongation of life, as well as alleviation of suffering – pain. Every human being is unique.

Abiding by the modern American Hippocratic Oath (1964), doctors swear: “I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.”
