The Hydrotherapy Program at Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai Rehabilitation Clinic is a form of aquatic therapy, performed under the supervision of a physical therapist, which aims to help patients of all ages and fitness levels with conditions that require a level of weight-bearing, joint protection or conditioning to improve range of motion, function or strength. Our hydrotherapy system uses an upright aquatic treadmill inside of a sterile tank to replicate the biomechanics of land-based movement. Whatever the age or ability, hydrotherapy can facilitate significant benefits to health, fitness, and wellbeing. The soothing properties of water can help heal the body while improving rehabilitation timeframes and fitness levels.
Conditions treated include ankle injuries, knee, and lower leg injuries, hip replacement, core stability, weight loss, spinal injuries, cardiovascular strength, overall fitness, neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, and more. Our hydrotherapy rehabilitation program helps to restore mobility, increase fitness levels, reduce pain, and improve the quality of life for each patient.
If you suffer from any of the previously mentioned symptoms or conditions, our physical therapists, who are trained in aquatic therapy, can help. There is no need to continue living in pain or discomfort. If you would like to begin your recovery through aquatic therapy, please contact our clinic and make an appointment.
