Neuromuscular Aquatic Rehabilitation

Regain movement made difficult by neurological conditions, in water. Our PMR and neurology team supports your balance and gait in the thermomineral pool and underwater treadmill.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Weight-Relieved Movement

Water carries most of your body weight; in paralysis and weakness, movements that cannot be started on land can be attempted early in water.

Safe Balance Training

In water’s stabilizing environment, fall risk drops; balance and trunk control are trained without fear.

Effect on Spasticity

Warm thermomineral water regulates muscle tone and temporarily eases spasticity, facilitating movement.

Gait Re-Education

On the underwater treadmill, water level, speed and support are adjusted to restore the gait pattern step by step.

Neurology & PMR Collaboration

The treatment plan is designed jointly by neurology and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists and carried out by physiotherapists.

International Patient Support

A seamless process for patients from abroad, with visa, transfer, accommodation and medical interpreter support.

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
