Hydrotherapy is a part of balneotherapy, where with the help of thermal water and baths the natural strength of the immune system is stimulated. Balneological therapies, such as guided group medical hydrogymnastics, assisted hydrogymnastics in the Hubbard tub, underwater massages, pearl baths, Halliwick and Watsu therapy, are used especially with severe injuries of spinal and locomotor systems and chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints and spine.
Guided group medical hydrogymnastics
Group hydrogymnastics comprises instructor-guided group aquatic exercises, where the water in case of a slow motion gives assistance to weak muscle. If the movements are performed fast, the water resistance helps reinforce the respective muscle groups.
Exercises in the Hubbard tub
If patients cannot get into a pool, we try to achieve positive effects of aquatic exercise by assisting them in a tub which allows for much greater range of movement.
Halliwick method for cerebral palsy
The Halliwick method is a form of neurophysiotherapy suitable for some neurology patients, mainly after a stroke, and for children suffering from cerebral palsy, who relax during aquatic exercise and can perform certain movements.
Aquatic Watsu
Watsu is an anti-stress programme by which a total relaxation, alleviation of pain and better mobility of joints and the spine are achieved. It is carried out in water and is recommended as a supplement to medical therapy. It accelerates the mobility of joints and alleviates spinal pain. The relaxed muscles, joints and surrounding structures enable normal mobility of the body. Watsu is an individual therapy, entirely adjusted to the individual's health condition and general well-being.
Pearl baths
In a pearl bath soft air bubbles gently massage the body thus allowing full relaxation.
Underwater massage
