Post-Surgical Aquatic Rehabilitation

Take your first post-surgery steps with water's support. In our underwater treadmill and thermomineral pool, guided by our PMR team, regain movement gently, without straining your joints.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Early Movement

Thanks to buoyancy, movements difficult on land are started early and safely.

Adjustable Load

Body weight is reduced via water level; load is increased gradually.

Treadmill-Based Recovery

The underwater treadmill restores a correct gait pattern early.

Pain & Edema Management

Hydrostatic pressure helps reduce edema and heat helps reduce pain.

Surgeon-Aligned Protocol

The program is built according to your surgery type and your surgeon’s instructions.

Safe Return

Return to daily life and activity is supported with reduced fall risk.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.
