So it looks like a trip to China might have to be postponed because Timur got called into a production in Bali and he needs to leave to it immediately after our trip. He suggested that we stay in Kazakhstan and go to a Sanatorium. Yes, yes my first impression was also: a psychiatric ward??? And actually, it turns out that in the former Soviet Union the term has a slightly different meaning. It is mostly a combination of a resort/recreational facility and a medical facility intended to provide short-term complex rest and medical services, thus it is common to a spa resort.
Here is 1 I found:http://www.birkolik.kz/eng/
It's called “Birkolik” Sanatorium-preventorium and it's in South Kazakhstan. Their medical treatment includes mud therapy, balneotherapy (baths w/ different kinds of salts and minerals), hydrotherapy and remedial gymnastics, massage, etc.
