Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy refers to the application of water as a therapeutic agent. It performs special exercises and movements on patient, which in combination with water's mechanical (buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, resistance) and thermal properties bring about short and long term adjustments. This results in therapeutic effects on the patient's body. As the friendly aquatic environment does not take place in any of the "frustrations" that the patient may often experience on land, there is a spectacular improvement in the mood and quality of patients life during their rehabilitation.
Our mission in Rehabilitation is the application of the most modern hydrotherapy methods, in accordance with the principles of the International Classification of Functionality, Health and Disability (ICF), in open and closed hospitalization patients.
