Hydrokinesiotherapy is a comprehensive rehabilitation method that involves performing special exercises in water, aimed at restoring motor functions, strengthening muscles, and improving the overall condition of the body. Classes in warm mineral water have several advantages over dry physical exercises.
Firstly, water provides natural unloading of the spine and joints, allowing exercises to be performed with less stress on the musculoskeletal system. This is especially important for patients with injuries, joint diseases, or chronic pain. Secondly, the water environment creates additional resistance to movements, forcing the muscles to work more intensively and thereby enhancing their strengthening. Thirdly, the water temperature has a calming effect on the nervous system, reducing muscle tension and pain.
Hydrokinesiotherapy at Kuialnyk Sanatorium is available for both adults and children aged 7 to 16, as well as for pensioners. The course of procedures can be taken either with a voucher or separately. Qualified specialists develop an individual program taking into account the patient's age, health condition, and preferences.
