Hydrotherapy, a specialised form of physiotherapy, it uses the therapeutic properties of water to address various physical conditions. This innovative approach harnesses water's buoyancy and resistance to aid in the rehabilitation and management of injuries.
In hydrotherapy, patients perform exercises in a heated pool, which promotes relaxation, eases muscle tension, and increases circulation. The reduced impact on joints due to buoyancy makes it ideal for conditions like arthritis, back pain, and post-surgical recovery. Additionally, the resistance of water provides a gentle way to improve strength and flexibility.
Hydrotherapy offers a wide range of benefits. It enhances cardiovascular fitness, reduces pain, and promotes overall well-being. The warm water can help soothe sore muscles and alleviate discomfort, while the controlled environment allows physiotherapists to tailor exercises to individual needs.
We have a Physioptherapist available at Bayswater Waves on Fridays and services at other pools are available on request. Call 0477 934 546 today to book your initial hydrotherapy assessment.
