What Can Hydrotherapy Do For You?

Hydrotherapy Can Be Great For:

• Arthritis (Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis): The warmth and buoyancy of the water ease joint pain and stiffness, allowing for improved range of motion and reduced impact during exercise.
• Hip and Knee Replacements (Pre-op preparations and Post-operative recovery): Hydrotherapy supports your weight, reducing stress on the healing joints, promoting earlier movement and strengthening.
• Back Pain and Sciatica: Water reduces spinal compression and allows for gentle stretching and strengthening of core muscles, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Sports Injuries: Hydrotherapy facilitates faster recovery with less impact on joints, helping to regain range of motion and reduce swelling.
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Water supports the body, making movements easier, improving balance and coordination. The warmth also relaxes muscles and reduces spasms.
• Cerebral Palsy: The water’s buoyancy allows for greater freedom of movement and can improve muscle tone and strength.
• Stroke Rehabilitation: Hydrotherapy helps regain motor control and improve mobility in a safe and supportive environment.
• Fibromyalgia: The warmth of the water relaxes muscles and reduces pain, while the buoyancy supports movement and reduces stress on tender points.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis: Hydrotherapy improves flexibility and strength, and the warmth eases pain and stiffness in the joints.
• Balance and Mobility Issues: Water provides a safe environment to practice balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls.
• General Weakness and Deconditioning: Hydrotherapy offers a gentle complimentary way to build strength and improve fitness, especially for those who find land-based exercise challenging.
• Weight Management: Exercising in water burns more calories than on land, and the low-impact nature is ideal for those with joint pain or mobility issues.
