Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy uses the physical properties of water in a therapeutic way. Over the last few years, consensus has grown over using water as a treatment method, thanks to its special healing powers.

At Platonas Medical Center, we offer professional hydrotherapy sessions in an accessible treatment pool, made to the highest standards.

Our professional hydrotherapists have fully mastered how to use the special characteristics of water – buoyancy, water pressure, water resistance and water temperature – to release the patient from supporting their own body weight, remove unneeded pressure, and help ease tight muscles and embedded tensions in a warm, pleasant environment.

Our doctors, the nursing and paramedical staff of the center ensure that each patient receives the best treatment, in a comfortable and supportive environment, based on international guidelines.
