Research has shown hydrotherapy is extremely effective in aiding pain relief and rehabilitation while also promoting general fitness and a sense of well-being.
The healing power of hydrotherapy lies in the combination of warmth, buoyancy and gentle resistance provided by the water. Hydrotherapy is not only physically therapeutic, it also helps to promote relaxation and improve general fitness.
Delivering health and lifestyle benefits to people of all ages hydrotherapy is particularly beneficial to people in their later years. As the body ages, strenuous physical exercise becomes more difficult and less desirable. Hydrotherapy can help people maintain a low-impact exercise program as they age leading to better health and mobility. One of the greatest benefits of hydrotherapy to older people is its potential to reduce falls through maximising balance and mobility.Hydrotherapy is also a particularly effective form of rehabilitation as the therapeutic effects of buoyancy and turbulence, combined with warm water, help reduce pain and muscle spasm.
This gentle form of exercise is recognised as one of the most beneficial physiotherapy techniques in the treatment of:
- Post-operative orthopaedic conditions
Osteoporosis
Neurological conditions
Arthritis
Cardiac rehabilitation
Skeletal and soft tissue injury
Acute and chronic back pain
Ante and post natal care
Work-related injuries
Each hydrotherapy program is individually tailored to meet the needs of the client and sessions are conducted by physiotherapists who specialise in hydrotherapy
