Why choose to study Balneophysiokinetotherapy and Rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation is a long process that makes the difference between a patient who returns to normal life and one who never gets there. The Balneophysiokinetotherapy and Rehabilitation program at UVVG Arad trains you as a specialist able to work with people and their needs, from assessment through to completion of treatment.

Over the three years of study, you combine core knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics with applied practical techniques—kinesiotherapy, massage, hydro-thermotherapy, electrotherapy, and complementary therapy. Each year includes credited practical placements, and the curriculum is designed so that theory and clinical practice support each other.
