Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy (water exercise) is a superb form of exercise to help bridge the transition from hands on manual therapy and non-weight-bearing exercise to land based weight-bearing exercise.

Hydrotherapy is particularly beneficial for weight-bearing structures such as the knee, hip and lumbar spine.It is ideal for rehabilitation:

• Allows graded weight-bearing
• Buoyancy reduces the load and pain from joints
• Regain confidence to initiate full recovery
• Excellent medium to gain good co-contraction and stability
• Enables graded progressive exercises using water resistance
• Increases cardiovascular endurance
• Post-operative orthopaedic rehabilitation
