Modalities

Hydro-Therapy Treatment Room
We offer the therapeutic use of water through swimming pools or local baths for the hands and feet to benefit our patients by increasing blood circulation, increasing joint flexibility, relaxing muscle spasms, as well as increasing muscle tone and reducing pain and fatigue.

Electrotherapy Room
We use state-of-the-art equipment including ultrasounds, short wave therapy, biofeedback, combination therapy, and lasers. These modalities are used as treatment for nerve injuries and muscle weaknesses, and as analgesics for pain and inflammations.

Gymnasium
We make optimal use of our fully equipped gymnasium; complete with parallel bars, wheels, pulleys, treadmills, bikes, ankle exercisers, quadriceps tables, dumbbells, and “continuous passive motion” machines to assist patients in regaining a high level of functioning and rehabilitation. The aim of such equipment is to strengthen muscles and improve body flexibility.
