Water physiotherapy in the HYDROWORX pool

The HydroWorx water therapy pool available at Orto Med Sport is a newcomer to the Polish market and is highly appreciated by doctors and sports medicine specialists worldwide.

Professional athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, who owns such a pool for his own use, have also noticed the benefits of water training, too. Several studies have proven that water physiotherapy following orthopedic procedures has been effective in treating pain, swelling, strength and range of movement in the early postoperative period. There is no risk of side effects.

During exercises in the physiotherapy pool, hydrostatic pressure, water temperature and resistance are applied; they simultaneously improve the cardiovascular system capacity, muscular strength, flexibility, and range of motion. As a result, postoperative patients return to fitness much sooner. Walking training in a lightweight, gravitation-free environment allows for an earlier reconstruction of the proper biomechanics of the locomotor system, thus reducing patient discomfort.

Aquagenic rehabilitation produces good results in osteoarthritis, and non-load-bearing exercise reduces pain and the risk of injury in overweight and obese people.
