Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy at Karin Dom supports the rehabilitation of children with special needs aged from 3 months to 11 years. Our goal is to offer an individual approach tailored to each child’s potential. Participation in the programme is carried out under the supervision of a doctor.

Qualified swimming and hydrotherapy instructors work with the children, who are also students in physiotherapy. Their training includes knowledge of the children’s medical diagnoses and conditions, making them excellent professionals.

Every child deserves a happy childhood. We create it together!

Hydrotherapy in the Pool

Parent’s feedback

“Niki can’t wait to get into the pool. He eagerly anticipates the day we come to Karin Dom. Niki is very disciplined when he is in the pool, listens to his coach, follows instructions, and works to achieve them. Recently, he learned to swim on his back. The child is happy, confident in himself. And last but not least, there is communication between Niki and the coach.”

Zhivka, Niki’s mother
