About diagnosis, treatment and recovery
Why is aquatic therapy safer in high body weight?
Water’s buoyancy carries a major portion of body weight; this reduces load and pain on the joints, making low-impact exercise safe.
Does aquatic exercise really help with weight management?
In-water walking and aerobic work support energy expenditure; together with nutrition support, they contribute to weight management.
How does buoyancy protect the knee and hip joints?
Buoyancy reduces the pressure on the joints, allowing movement without straining the knee and hip joints.
I cannot swim; can I receive aquatic therapy?
Yes. Programs are usually carried out at a standing depth under specialist supervision; swimming is not required.
What is the difference between the underwater treadmill and walking on land?
On the underwater treadmill, body weight and speed can be adjusted; joint load decreases and walking takes place in a joint-friendly way.
Is nutrition support included in the program?
Yes. The program includes weight management guidance integrated with the aquatic work, accompanied by a nutrition specialist.
How many sessions does a program take and when will I see results?
The number of sessions and duration are personal, based on your joint condition, fitness and goals; they are planned at the first assessment.
Is aquatic therapy suitable if I have knee or hip osteoarthritis?
It is usually suitable; water reduces joint load and supports pain-free movement in osteoarthritis. Eligibility is determined after assessment.
Are there situations where aquatic therapy is not advisable?
It may not be advisable in some cardiac, skin or infection conditions; eligibility is determined per patient after assessment.
How does the process work for patients coming from abroad?
Your file is assessed remotely and a personalized quote is delivered; international patient support such as visa, transfer, accommodation and medical interpreter is provided.
