HYDROTHERAPY

WHAT DO WE DO ?

This program is one of the oldest of ISOP. Since its inception we have seen the social, psychological and motor benefits of our users. The aquatic environment enhances many people's abilities and we use this resource to carry out our activities in a different, efficient and fun way.

HOW ?

Our program has a highly qualified teacher, with a great spirit of growth, and therapists who care for children and adults. After an initial assessment, a process begins to improve the skills of the users, according to their individual needs. The program ensures quality care, being the only one of its kind in the region.

WHERE ?

The program has always been a challenge because in the region we do not have access to a specific pool for it. But this hasn't stopped us and we have managed, with the support of different pools of the area, to work at their places. At the moment, the program takes place in the swimming pool of the UCR, the CATIE and in the pool of the Americas.
