Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy promotes healing by harnessing the natural properties of water—such as buoyancy, resistance, and temperature—combined with targeted therapeutic techniques.

When the body is submerged in water, the buoyancy reduces the effects of gravity, significantly lessening the stress on joints, muscles, and bones. This is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from surgery or injury, as it allows them to perform movements with greater ease and less pain.

Water resistance provides a safe way to strengthen muscles, as it requires more effort to move without the impact that typically accompanies land-based exercises. This gradual strengthening of muscles is essential for improving mobility and overall physical function.

If appropriate, our physiotherapists can recommend and guide clients to use hydrotherapy as part of their rehabilitation plan. Each session is offered in a group setting, with some time set aside for your first appointment to teach you how to perform the exercises.
