Abstract. The purpose of our study was to show effects of spa and physical therapy in an Intermittent Claudication (Ie) patient with orthopedic and neuralgic problems. 60- year-old male patient had fracture surgery at forearm and both femurs and operation in knee, suffered from right hemiparasy and has leg pain while walking. In doppler examination, aterom plaques in left lower extremity iliac external and femoral artery were observed. Within 12 days of spa and physical therapy prograr- made up of one session a day, spa pool exercises and physical therapy program were applied. Before and after the treatment Pain Free Walking (PFW) and Maximum Walking (MW) distance and time were measured on the straight ground. After 12 sessions PFW distance increased 112.5 % (32m to 68 m) and MW distance increased 164.7 % (102 m to 270 m). At the end of the 4th session the night pain was relieved. The spa and physical therapy program applied to the IC patient with orthopedic and neuralgic problems gave successful results and showed that spa therapy can also be applied to such patients in addition to physical therapy.
