Hydrotherapy

What Is Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a therapeutic whole-body form of treatment carried out in a heated pool for the rehabilitation of many conditions/injuries. Its overall aim is to reduce pain and increase function. Essentially, hydrotherapy is physiotherapy in the pool instructed by one of our highly qualified physiotherapists.

Hydrotherapy is an extremely versatile form of treatment suitable for all ages. It is possible to carry out gentle exercises or more strenuous exercise, and it can begin early in your rehabilitation or further down the track. Our therapists are trained to cater for those medical conditions that require special care to be taken in the water.

Why It Works

Hydrotherapy combines the properties of heat and buoyancy with resistance in the water to achieve functional goals. These properties allow you to perform exercises you may be unable to do on land,. Subsequently this enables you to accelerating your rehabilitation in low- impact conditions and improving muscle strength, aerobic capacity and joint range of movement.

Hydrotherapy with our specialist physiotherapists will leave you feeling high-spirited and empowered with a clear plan for treatment.

Client Testimonials

Zoe Rowell

I always have a wonderful experience when visiting! The reception staff are always super-helpful and accommodating and I am always greeted with a smile! The physiotherapist I see gives stretches and strengthening exercises to complete between visits if follow-up appointments are needed! Thanks for your awesome work!

Frank Mount Evelyn

I have been going to this clinic for over 3 years after suffering near-fatal injuries from a car accident. The Physiotherapists who have been treating me have all been very caring, gentle and courteous whilst ensuring all of my needs were met. There was never an issue that they did not overcome with either treatment or the supply of ergonomic devices. My treatment is coming to an end as I now progress onto self-managing my health and wellbeing with regular sessions at the local gym, which they also organised. The administration staff are fantastic people who also treated me with the utmost respect and assistance. Thanks, Team!!!

Being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I was referred to Jade, whom I have no hesitation in recommending. She has been able to help through planning and careful management, meaning that frequent appointments were not required. My health was in her best interest. Truly a great service.
