Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy uses the mechanical and thermal characteristics, combined with movement, to increase your range of function. That’s because water’s natural buoyancy allows people with neurological conditions or physical disabilities discover a whole new range of movement.
In addition, the natural resistance of water helps improve muscular strength, postural control, trunk strength and balance. This kind of therapy can aid in greater independence for everyday tasks, and many of our clients have noticed a reduction in pain.
The recovery process for a brain or spinal cord injury can be long, complex and extremely difficult. Hydrotherapy is effective for neuromuscular re-education and strengthening. The increase in movement against water’s natural resistance can help improve muscular strength for patients who are suffering from weakness and/or paralysis.
Our Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists prioritise your safety first. They support you in the water and create a customised hydrotherapy program to ensure you soak up all the benefits.
