What are the benefits of Hydrotherapy?
- Decreased impact/ less load on joints
- Increases function and strength
- Increases range of motion
- Provides dynamic resistance
- Hydrostatic pressure- (decreases inflammation)
- Improves cardiovascular fitness
- Improves balance
What pathologies hydrotherapy can be effective for managing/ decreasing recovery time:
- Acute or Chronic musculoskeletal injuries
- Pre or Post operative injuries
- Arthritis

Hydrotherapy is significantly different from water aerobics or conventional swimming as the exercises and movements are catered specifically for each individual and their presentation.
Our Myotherapists will complete an individual assessment and risk screening to get a full understanding of your history before getting you in the water to start working towards your rehabilitation goals.
