Hydro Therapy

Our therapists are specially trained to develop individual and specific exercise programs that are intended to be practiced in the aquatic environment, out of gravity.

The use of water as a carrier and / or resistance allows a safe recovery and a faster return to activities, such as walking, but also the execution of complex movements specific to different sports or physical activities.

Physiotherapy

Paediatric physiotherapists help children to achieve their optimal physical development. They have specialist knowledge in the movement, development and conditions that are likely to affect the baby and growing child and treat from 1-day-old babies to adolescents. Treatment may involve soft tissue massage, mobilisation, stretching, specific therapeutic exercises and posture education. Because Children are not small adults these therapists encourage children to move to the best of their abilities through play and age appropriate fun and instruction.
