Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a way for people with Muscle and Joint Pain or Chronic Conditions to exercise with a minimum of stress to joints and sore muscles, by utilising the buoyancy of water and adding heat. Hydrotherapy exercises are a series of gentle movements in the pool.

The following conditions would benefit from Hydrotherapy:

• General Muscle & Joint Pain
• Arthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Osteoarthritis
• Diabetes (I&II)
• Cancer
• Obesity
• Depression
• Musculoskeletal Injury / Rehab
• Occupational Injury
• Chronic Respiratory Diseases and Asthma

How does it work?

• The warmth of the water increases circulation and aids in relaxing tense muscles
• The buoyancy of the water supports your body, makes movements easier and range of movements can be increased
• The buoyancy and resistance of the water can be helpful in strengthening muscles.

It is recommended that you book in for an initial consultation with one of the Exercise Physiologists prior to commencing Hydrotherapy.
