KIN Sukhumvit 107 · Warm Hydrotherapy Pool
Exercise in water: less load on the joints, easier movement
Hydrotherapy is physical therapy in water. Buoyancy supports part of your body weight, so the knees, hips and back may bear less load than during land-based exercise. Water resistance keeps the muscles working, and the viscosity of water helps slow down swaying during balance training. The physical therapist chooses the water level and exercises to suit each person. Results vary between individuals, and training must be continued according to the plan.

Frequently asked questions
I cannot swim. Can I do hydrotherapy?
Yes. Hydrotherapy involves standing, walking and moving in water at a depth where you can stand. No swimming is needed, and a physical therapist is in the pool with you every session.
What should I bring?
A swimsuit or clothing suitable for the water, a towel and sandals · Avoid a heavy meal for about 1 hour before entering the pool · Please book in advance to reserve a physical therapist's time
I use a wheelchair or cannot walk on my own. Can I enter the pool?
Just let us know when booking. The physical therapist will first assess a safe way to get in and out of the pool. If it is not yet suitable, land-based training or another option will be recommended instead.
How is it different from an underwater treadmill?
Hydrotherapy uses the warm pool at KIN Sukhumvit 107 and focuses on a variety of exercises in the pool, while the Aquatic Treadmill is at KIN Lat Phrao 71 and focuses on walking on a treadmill in water. The physical therapist will recommend the option that suits your goals.
