The 20th century was characterized by great strides in medication treatment; however, its significance has not been lost and, in fact, has seen further development of non-drug treatment (NDT). Medical rehabilitation (MR) is based on NDT, which includes exercise therapy, massage, physiotherapy, dietary therapy, health-resort treatment, etc. This study discusses the advantages of the various types of NDT, including the possibilities of their application in the most common diseases.
