Hydrotherapy is renowned as an alternative treatment for patients with physical disabilities as well as a preventive therapy. The combination of aquatic exercises with physical therapy is indicated for many disorders and is done only by physiotherapists.

This is recommended for patients with neurological disorders, but also orthopaedic trauma, rheumatologic and sports disorders.
