Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Therapy, also known as hydrotherapy, involves exercise and treatment in a heated pool. It's delivered by physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, or allied health assistants.
What we offer
Our hydrotherapy pool is designed to enhance your aquatic therapy experience with its modern features and heated water. Aquatic Therapy provides a range of benefits, including soothing painful joints, improving mobility, and boosting flexibility and strength. The buoyancy of the water reduces pressure on your joints, supports movements that are challenging on land and can increase exercise safety. Additionally, water exercise can significantly improve aerobic fitness and balance.
Aquatic Therapy can effectively help with various conditions such as arthritis, chronic pain, rehabilitation after accidents or injuries, back pain, fibromyalgia, upper and lower limb disorders, spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions like stroke and Parkinson's Disease, mobility issues in children, and post-surgery recovery including joint replacements.
You do not need to be able to swim to benefit from our Aquatic Therapy services. The pool features a depth of 0.9m at the shallow end and 1.5m at the deep end. If you are not comfortable in the water or cannot swim, please inform your therapist so they can provide additional support during your sessions.
