Hydrotherapy, or aquatic physiotherapy, is a therapeutic approach that utilizes the physical properties of water to promote recovery and improve quality of life. Thanks to buoyancy, resistance, and water temperature, this technique allows for the safe and effective treatment of various musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. What Are the Benefits of Hydrotherapy? The main advantage of hydrotherapy lies in the unique properties of water: • Buoyancy: Reduces joint impact, enabling freer and pain-free movement. • Resistance: Naturally strengthens muscles without the need for additional weights. • Hydrostatic pressure: Stimulates blood circulation and reduces swelling. • Controlled temperature: Relaxes muscles and relieves pain, making exercise more comfortable. Through these properties, hydrotherapy allows: • Reduction of pain and inflammation; • Increased joint mobility; • Progressive muscle strengthening; • Improved balance and coordination; • Promotion of overall well-being and relaxation.
