Aquatic Sports Rehabilitation

A safe return to performance after injury or surgery. Our sports medicine, orthopedics and PMR team is by your side in the underwater treadmill and thermomineral pool.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Early & Safe Loading

Buoyancy enables early movement without straining injured tissue; recovery starts without lost time.

Underwater Walking & Running

The walking and running pattern is restored gradually and with low impact by adjusting body weight and speed.

Gradual Return to Performance

Loading that begins in water is progressively increased for a safe transition to land and sport.

Reduces Re-Injury Risk

A controlled environment and balanced strengthening lower the risk of re-injury during the return process.

Sports Medicine & Orthopedics Team

The program is planned with joint evaluation by sports medicine, orthopedics and PMR specialists.

Post-Surgical Early Protocol

Early, pain-free and controlled in-water protocols after ligament, meniscus and joint surgery.

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
