Hidroterapia – Exercícios terapêuticos em meio aquático
Hydrotherapy or aquatic therapy combines the use of the effects of immersion and the physical properties of water, with the joint application of specific physiotherapy techniques to help you achieve the desired therapeutic benefits, achieving maximum functionality and quality of life.
Who is it for?
Physiotherapy in an aquatic environment is a therapy for people with a poorly developed physical condition and who often find it difficult to perform daily tasks. It is recommended for people suffering from arthritis, osteoarthritis, back pain, slipped discs, fibromyalgia, and decreased mobility.
Benefits of hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy helps improve the mental and functional health and quality of life of people with rheumatic diseases and has a positive effect on well-being and long-term pain relief.
Hydrotherapy also helps increase strength, maintain/increase range of motion, improve posture, increase resistance to fatigue, promote balance and coordination, weight control, and increase confidence in an aquatic environment. All these factors will help achieve functional autonomy, improve performance in daily activities, prevent falls, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and high cholesterol, and promote social interaction, relaxation and overall wellness.
Hydrotherapy at Com Corpus
The sessions take place in a heated pool at the Lisbon clinics.
The treatment of problems such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, back pain, slipped discs, fibromyalgia, and decreased mobility should not begin without an initial medical assessment. Com Corpus has a large clinical team at its clinic in Lisbon to ensure the proper communication between the physician and the physiotherapist who will treat you.
Tests and blood work may be prescribed in order to better identify the pathology. You will need to make a physical and rehabilitation medicine or sports medicine appointment with one of our physiatrists for physiotherapy sessions at Com Corpus.
Our physiotherapists always work closely with patients with a higher degree of incapacity and functional dependence and who need a more personalised and specific treatment.
