Hydrotherapy Program: Special price at only 1,500 THB / session (Regular price 2,000 THB).

Hydrotherapy

     Hydrotherapy uses the physical properties of water to support the treatment of various conditions and movement limitations. Buoyancy reduces pressure on the joints, while water density supports the body, allowing movement with less weight-bearing and greater freedom.

     When knee pain or a knee injury makes land-based exercise difficult, aquatic exercise may provide a lower-impact option. Activities can include swimming, walking or jogging in water, aquatic aerobics, and structured hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy may be particularly helpful for selected people with knee pain or mobility limitations, following assessment by a healthcare professional.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy

    Water currents and aquatic equipment may be incorporated into treatment and training. For example, walking in different directions against controlled water resistance can help patients and older adults practice balance. Hydrotherapy may also be considered for health-focused exercise and rehabilitation, including selected pregnant individuals with medical clearance, sports-related joint or muscle injuries, and people who are overweight.

Physical Therapy Hydrotherapy May Be Suitable For

• Office Syndrome (office syndrome)
• Chronic muscle and soft-tissue pain
• Knee osteoarthritis
• Older adults
• Shoulder pain or frozen shoulder
• Chronic low back pain
• Sports injury rehabilitation
• Postoperative rehabilitation
• Scoliosis
• Parkinson’s disease
• Selected individuals with myasthenia gravis, subject to medical clearance
• Persistent stress and muscle tension

How Hydrotherapy Differs from Land-Based Exercise

1. Buoyancy

      Land-based exercise requires the body to support its full weight. In hydrotherapy, buoyancy helps support people with higher body weight or joint degeneration. At approximately waist depth, water may reduce effective weight-bearing by about 50%, depending on water depth and body position.

2. Water Resistance and Viscosity

      Water viscosity provides support when a person becomes unsteady, allowing more time to correct balance and helping reduce fall risk during supervised training.

      Research suggests that aquatic exercise may help reduce pain and improve physical function in some people with chronic joint conditions. It may also support cardiovascular fitness, balance, mobility, and muscle strength. Results vary according to the individual condition and treatment program.
