This article is aimed at giving arguments to prove that adults suffering from lower joint pain may be instructed on rehabilitation aquatic techniques. After constructing a framework, particularly related to the interaction between facilitators and elder adults and based on the relation between the cognitive and affective sphere, surveys were given to a sample of professional and aged people under rehabilitation at the Foundation of the Senior Citizens' Experience Center (CEAM) in the province of Pichincha in Ecuador. The main finding is the description of a proposal of socio-educative intervention associated to the therapeutic treatment.

Palabras clave : health education; social development; adult education centers; medical treatment.
