Hydrotherapy, also known as aquatic therapy and water therapy, is a form of therapeutic exercise undertaken in water. A safe and effective treatment for various injuries, hydrotherapy is especially beneficial for those whose injuries are aggravated by weight-bearing.
Performing a range of gentle exercises in a pool, the physics of combining warm water and buoyancy assists in facilitating certain movement patterns, while providing resistance for others. Our university-trained therapist will join you in the pool to carefully guide you through each exercise and give you peace of mind.
Relieving pressure on joints, hydrotherapy is designed to be easier and less painful than exercising on land. A safe form of rehabilitation or low-impact exercise, aqua therapy helps to mobilise stiff and sore joints and muscles.
An effective treatment for many injuries and illnesses, hydrotherapy is particularly suitable for:
- Arthritic joints
- Post-surgical rehabilitation, including knee and hip replacements as well as shoulder surgery
- Neurological and brain injuries, including stroke rehabilitation, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy
- Patients with multiple trauma, eg. motor vehicle accident recoveries
- Pain management
- Mobility and balance; particularly good for those with a high fall risk
- General exercise
- Mental health
