Hydrotherapy

The application of water as a therapeutic agent is one of the most basic components in the field of rehabilitation. Exercise in water, also known as hydrotherapy, is based on its principles and properties. These are buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, water resistance and temperature. The Lydia Rehabilitation Centre has two indoor pools, controlled by modern systems that ensure chlorination, water quality and ozonation at safe levels, creating an excellent recovery environment. In combination with special equipment, which includes, among other things, electric cranes, a waterway with water resistance and wheeled carts for entering and exiting the water, hydrotherapy is a model for recovery and rehabilitation in Greece. The outpatient pool has a pop-up bottom, so that the water level can be adjusted according to each patient. The inpatient recovery pool has special equipment for hydro-massage as well as an air blower, which provides the beneficial actions that patients need.

Hydrotherapy, i.e. exercise in water, is particularly indicated for treatment:

  • neurological conditions, such as vascular strokes
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Postoperative conditions
  • Injuries to high level athletes as well as prevention of some injuries resulting from high loads of training on the ground.

Hydrotherapy equipment

Aqua Ciser III
The Aquaciser III hydrotherapy system, from the American company Hundson, is the advanced development in hydrotherapy. It consists of an exercise chamber, a water tank and a control console. The temperature and depth of the water, along with the direction and speed of the water treadmill can be used in low-intensity, high-impact exercises, helping patients regain confidence and balance in all movements.

The Aquaciser III is designed to provide hydrotherapy with aerobic exercise, providing a high strength program. It is aimed at patients who require alternative therapeutic exercise, such as aquatic therapy, where the natural properties of water can reduce swelling and pressure on joints.

  • The waterway system offers many additional benefits such as
  • Controlled and fast recovery
  • Effective exercise for patients with arthritis, chronic pain and weight loss problems.

The hydrotherapy also includes bilingual baths and two rehabilitation baths.

  • Bathtub with galvanic streams and whirlpool.
  • Hydrotherapy bath.

The hydrotherapy equipment also includes bilobaths and therapeutic baths. The electrotherapy bath is designed to produce a galvanic current in the water, with safe and suitable equipment. This is designed to electrostimulate peripheral neuropathies, resulting in :

  • preventing or delaying atrophy
  • maintaining or increasing the range of motion,
  • the elasticity of muscle fibres,
  • muscle retraining,
  • the resolution of muscle spasm (where it exists),
  • the increase of local blood flow,
  • mental encouragement of the patient.
