Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy involves carrying out specific physiotherapy exercises in warm water to help relieve pain, relax and strengthen muscles, increase circulation, and subsequently improve function. Our physiotherapists work with you, one-to-one, to develop a tailored hydrotherapy exercise program with demonstrations, to help you achieve your goals. They will take the time to demonstrate each exercise to you, and ensure you are carrying them out correctly.

How do I book?
Book your initial consultation with a physiotherapist in our clinic rooms and have a discussion about starting hydrotherapy. New clients are initially assessed in the clinic to ensure that hydrotherapy is a suitable treatment option for you. Your hydrotherapy physiotherapist will then customise the best hydrotherapy program for you and confirm that you are safe to exercise in the pool. If hydrotherapy is suitable, your next session will be conducted at the pool.
