You can start gait training by putting much less weight on the joint to be rehabilitated using the buoyancy of water.
Hydrotherapy for rehabilitation is a very useful therapeutic resource.
Another advantage of the aquatic environment is the resistance it offers to movement, enabling a wide range of muscle-strengthening exercises to be performed simply by using the resistance of the water.
Other benefits of hydrotherapy include the benefits of thermotherapy related to water temperature.
Com Corpus has identical temperature-controlled hydrotherapy pools at its Marquês de Pombal clinic and Campo Pequeno clinic , and also has changing rooms at your disposal.
Hydrotherapy can be prescribed by our specialists in physical and rehabilitation medicine and sports medicine , and is recommended irrespective of whether or not you practice sports.
