Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a treatment modality used by physiotherapists at Rocky Bay.
The benefits of hydrotherapy include:
- Greater independent movement;
- Relaxation;
- Improved respiratory and cardiovascular fitness, weight control; and
- Increased mobility.
Rocky Bay has a large hydrotherapy pool specifically designed for people with high physical support needs. There is access to the pool using a ramp, hoist, ladder or treatment bench. The pool is staffed by physiotherapy assistants who help each client with their individual program in the water and with personal care before and after their session. Individual sessions with the client and physiotherapist are regularly held. Each staff member has a current First Aid Certificate.
