Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy offers a wide range of benefits such as decreasing pain, easing movement, relieving muscle spasms and improving circulation. This unique form of specialised therapy is delivered in a pool that is heated to between 33 and 36 degrees celsius and is a popular option for rehabilitation, while also improving cardovascular fitness and general health and wellness.

Our team can work with you to incorporate the use of hydrotherapy sessions as part of your therapy services. Sessions may be available at your local pool, school pool, or even your home pool.

Our team will tailor the hydro sessions to meet your needs, and to best achieve your goals. Work with our physiotherapist, occupational therapist or exercise physiologist teams to get the most out of your hydrotherapy.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy
  • Enhances exercise capacity by boosting cardiac function
  • Alleviates numbness in extremities, particularly legs and feet, through the augmentation of peripheral blood flow
  • Mitigates muscle spasms and fosters muscle relaxation, especially beneficial for individuals with neurological conditions
  • Enhances balance, mobility, postural stability, and motor activity in individuals with neurological conditions.
  • Weight bearing activities will be easier due to the buoyancy that the water can provide, allowing you to participate in more activities
  • Alleviates arthritis symptoms, including joint swelling and pain
  • Boosts skin health by promoting increased blood flow to the skin and enhancing epidermal barrier function
  • A fun and engaging way to encourage children and adults to participate in therapy sessions
