The Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation provides opportunity for prevention and treatment of all sport injuries including an individualized treatment plan and exercises. It is the only department in Macedonia that operates an hydro-treadmill for hydrotherapy.
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation provide the necessary treatment to patients who, regardless of the cause, can not take medications nor undergo surgical treatment; to patients with chronic diseases and to patients with limited or no motor functions. It is also applied in post operative treatment for the purpose of restoring normal physiological functions as well as when there is a risk of disease progression.
The musculoskeletal system development of children is affected by internal and external factors, therefore subjected to various deformations. Hereditary factors, improper posture and the lack of physical activity – all lead to distortion of the spinal static resulting in deformities. Corrective gymnastics is a set of special exercises tailored individually to each child which enables strengthening and correction of certain muscle groups affected by deformities.
Performing exercises on hydro-treadmill is not only particularly useful in rehabilitation, it is increasingly used in training of professional and amateur athletes. It is beneficial for starting physical activity in people who want to lose weight or people with back and joint pain. The basic principle is to eliminate Earth’s gravity and to reduce pressure on the joints while the resistance created by the water strengthens the muscles. It is used in the rehabilitation of fractures and surgical interventions of herniated discs.
