Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy, also known as water therapy, is used at Adeli Medical Center to alleviate ailments and promote physical well-being. There are various applications of water, such as hot, cold, steam or ice, which act on the body and produce different effects.

One of the main applications of hydrotherapy at Adeli Medical Center is physiotherapy in water. Here, the buoyancy of the water is used to work against gravity and reduce the resistance to movement caused by the water. This makes it easier to train movement sequences and build muscle strength.

Another application is the alternating use of heat and cold, which affects blood circulation and improves the immune system and digestion. Heating the surface of the skin causes blood vessels to dilate, while cold has the opposite effect. The use of water also creates a massage-like sensation that can help relax muscles and relieve pain.

Hydrotherapy also has positive effects on the nervous system. The stimulation of the skin by the water and the hydrostatic pressure have a calming effect on the nervous system and can lead to a reduction in stress and anxiety.

Overall, hydrotherapy at Adeli Medical Center can help to alleviate complaints such as pain, stiffness and muscle cramps. It can also help to improve mobility and flexibility and increase well-being. The specialist therapists at Adeli Medical Center create an individual program for each patient, tailored to their specific needs and goals.
