About diagnosis, treatment and recovery
What is hydrotherapy and how does it differ from land-based exercise?
Hydrotherapy is in-water treatment using the buoyancy and warmth of water, enabling movements difficult on land to be done safely with low joint load.
How does the buoyancy of water protect my joints?
Buoyancy reduces body weight, lowering the load on the joint and allowing pain-free, controlled movement.
Who is the underwater treadmill suitable for?
It is suitable for patients needing to regain gait after surgery or for orthopedic and neurological reasons; suitability is determined by assessment.
For which complaints do thermomineral water and balneotherapy help?
In chronic musculoskeletal and rheumatic complaints it may help relax muscle spasm, support circulation and provide relief.
I cannot swim; can I still receive aquatic therapy?
Yes; programs are usually carried out at standing depth and with the team present, and do not require swimming ability.
When can I start aquatic rehabilitation after surgery?
The start time depends on the type of surgery and wound healing; the appropriate time is decided by your physician.
Does aquatic therapy trigger flares in rheumatic disease?
When the program is planned individually and in a controlled way it is generally well tolerated; intensity is adjusted to your condition.
How does aquatic therapy improve balance in neurological patients?
The safe, supportive environment of water reduces fear of falling, so balance, coordination and gait work can begin earlier.
How many sessions does a program take and when will I see results?
The number of sessions is personal; your plan and the expected course are shared with you at the first assessment.
How does the process work for patients coming from abroad?
With visa, transfer, accommodation and medical interpreter support, the process is planned end to end and the quote is clarified in advance.
