Aquatic Therapy (Hydrotherapy)

Aquatic Physiotherapy is a form of physiotherapy treatment conducted in a heated pool. It is performed under supervision by physiotherapists with specific training in aquatic physiotherapy. Your physiotherapist will specifically design exercises to help regain or enhance the physical well being. The effects of turbulence and buoyancy, combined with warm water, helps reduce pain and muscle spasm. Patients do not need to be able to swim in order to benefit from aquatic physiotherapy.

Aquatic physiotherapy can help strengthen muscles, mobilise joints, relieve pain, promote relaxation, improve general fitness, and improve balance and coordination. Aquatic physiotherapy can offer specific relief to people with arthritic problems, back and neck pain, sports injuries and work related injuries.
