Pediatric Hydrotherapy

A water therapy woven with play, for your child. Our team of pediatric neurology, PMR specialists and pediatric physiotherapists supports development in our thermomineral pool.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Play-Based Therapy

Water is a natural and enjoyable environment for a child; exercises are turned into play to increase participation and motivation.

Tone-Regulating Warm Water

The warmth of thermomineral water softens increased muscle tone and facilitates movement.

Weight-Relieved Development

Water carries most of the child’s body weight; sitting, standing and stepping that are hard on land can be attempted.

Balance & Trunk Control

Trunk control, posture and balance are safely supported in water’s stabilizing environment.

Pediatric Specialist Team

Pediatric neurology and PMR specialists with pediatric physiotherapists plan the program around the child and family.

Family Involvement

Families receive home exercises and daily-life guidance; recovery continues beyond the pool.

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.
