Hydrotherapy

What is hydrotherapy/aquatic therapy?

The idea of pool-based therapy is that the buoyancy of water allows acute and post-operative patients a chance to progress faster in their rehabilitation than they would on dry land and with less pain. The treatment form includes special exercises that are focusing on slow movements and relaxation in a warm-water pool (typically 33–36ºC). Our highly trained therapists can work with all ages and injuries to speed up your return to fitness.

Hydrotherapy is an excellent rehabilitation form to ease pain in joints and to improve circulation.

The aquatic therapy pool offers a pleasant environment for rehabilitation and the warmth of the water helps relax muscles.
