Aquatic Therapy in Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain

Pain-free movement is possible with fibromyalgia and chronic pain. Discover a personalized water therapy program in our warm thermomineral pool, guided by rheumatology and PMR specialists.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Muscle Relaxation with Warm Water

The warmth of thermomineral water relieves muscle spasm and reduces widespread tension to ease pain.

Pain-Free Movement Environment

Buoyancy reduces joint load; movements that are hard on land can be attempted in water without fear of pain.

Endurance & Conditioning

Low-impact in-water work helps manage fatigue and gradually build endurance.

Sleep & Relaxation

Warm water and gentle exercise can support relaxation and an overall sense of comfort.

Rheumatology & PMR Supervision

The program is planned with joint evaluation by rheumatology and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists.

Gradual & Safe Progression

Exercise intensity is increased individually and gradually to avoid triggering flares.

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.

Transparent, guaranteed price

A quote prepared from your medical information; no extra charge for the treatments it covers.
