Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy involves undertaking exercise therapy in a heated pool, utilising the basic principles of water to assist joint movements and muscle activity that may otherwise be difficult on land.

Appropriate individual programs are developed to address the specific needs of each patient.

Conditions that will benefit from Hydrotherapy include:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Following knee, hip, shoulder or spine surgery
  • Sports injuries (especially where land-based exercise is not appropriate)
  • Workplace/Motor Vehicle injuries
  • Balance issues
  • Acute back pain
  • Fractures

Hydrotherapy is also suitable for women during stages of pregnancy, post-natal or pelvic floor recovery. Water based exercise can assist with taking load off the joints such as hips and back. Pool exercises are also non-weight bearing, meaning it is a 'pelvic floor safe' way to exercise.

  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse
  • Pregnancy
  • Post Natal Rehab

The groups are run in small class sizes with participants focusing on their own individualised program under the direction of the Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist. This ensures that the exercises are done properly and safely.

Hydrotherapy is suitable for people who cannot swim.

An initial assessment in our Clinic is required prior to attending the pool. Call us to book your assessment.
