Hydrotherapy

What is hydrotherapy?

Aquatic physiotherapy is a form of physiotherapy conducted in a heated therapy pool. The buoyancy of water helps in reducing the impact on joints, making it an effective and gentle approach for rehabilitation. This specialised form of physiotherapy aims to improve mobility, strength, stability, and overall well being by utilising the unique properties of water to support and enhance therapeutic exercises.
