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.
We develop water based programs crafted by our experts to help you reach specific goals. The services usually start as 1-on-1 sessions for a more tailored experience and then, where appropriate, are shifted to supervised independent exercises. Our therapists are here to support you along the way, if mobility is an issue, we can assist you using a ramp and a chair to ensure you can access the pool comfortably.
