In Hydrotherapy, the water is used as a therapeutic mean, which is based in its therapeutic qualities: buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, fluid resistance and temperature (31⁰C – 34⁰C). The liquid element as a rehabilitation mean, enables the patient to perform movements that would be very difficult or even impossible to perform outside of the water.The benefits of of exercising in the water are the following:

• Decrease of muscular spasm, which results to muscular relaxation
• Decrease of pain sensitivity
• Increase of the articulation joints motion range
• Improvement of muscular strength and endurance
• Improvement of peripheral and lymphatic circulation
• Increase of the patient’s self-esteem

The Hydrotherapy Department also includes:

• Parallel walking bars
