Eesti Spa Liit - Therapeutic gymnastics

Therapeutic gymnastics at the gym

The purpose of therapeutic gymnastics is the acceleration of being cured from the pathological condition and the preservation of the achievements while the patient is actively involved in the process of recovery. The knowledge that a part of your recovery depends on yourself is just as important as the correct and regular performance of the exercises. Therapeutic gymnastics is carried out by a specially trained instructor (physiotherapist) either individually or in groups.

Water gymnastics

Water gymnastics is a suitable form of motional therapy for those to whom regular gymnastics could prove to be difficult – for example, people with motional disabilities. Certain movements seem easier to perform in water, and while the performance of exercises is les troublesome, the strain for the joints and spine is smaller. Water has stronger resistance towards movements and this allows receiving a good result already with a short workout. Water also has a toughening effect on the organism and stimulates metabolism.

Water running

Water running is an exciting alternative for traditional swimming, water aerobics and water gymnastics. The aiding equipment for water running is a belt which positions the runner in an upright position in the water without any unnecessary movements. Due to the resistance of water we go through more trouble for performing the movements than on dry land, while not putting any strain on our joints which go through enough trouble in our daily life. Half an hour of running in the water has the same effect as two hours of intense running on dry land. Water running develops one’s aerobic capacity, increases the strength of muscles, improves the cardiovascular activity and accelerates metabolism. Water running is feasible and suitable for everyone, the elderly and children, sportsmen and hobby sportsmen. Water running is especially suitable for overweight people, people who suffer from joint pain and for rehabilitation treatment.
