Abstract

Hydrokinesitherapy is used to treat different diseases and conditions, but also to improve the physio-logical performance of the musculoskeletal system. Water is an ideal medium to achieve different reha-bilitation or training goals by combining different effects of its physical and chemical characteristics. Hydrokinesitherapy in thermal mineral water may intensify the effects of immersive hydrotherapy, but caution should be taken considering individual cardiorespiratory status. The aim of this paper is to pre-sent the effects of hydrokinesitherapy in different rehabilitation or training programs with special re-view on the effect of thermal mineral water, to emphasize its beneficial but also limiting effects.
