Hydrotherapy

Make Waves in Your Recovery (Without the Big Trek!)

At Happy Steps, we believe that therapy should fit seamlessly into your life! Our hydrotherapy service brings the amazing benefits of aquatic exercise to a community pool that’s convenient for you.

Imagine a world where gravity takes a break, and gentle warmth soothes your aches and pains, all at a local pool near your home! The buoyancy of the water makes exercises feel lighter and less stressful on your joints, while the resistance provides a fantastic way to build strength and improve your range of motion – and the best part? We will meet you there!

Our experienced and friendly physiotherapists will guide you through personalised exercises in a warm, supportive pool environment close to where you live. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply looking for a fun and effective way to improve your fitness, our accessible hydrotherapy service could be the perfect choice for you!

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.

What Else Can Hydrotherapy Do For You?

  • Gentle on Joints: The buoyancy of the water makes it ideal for people with arthritis, hip and knee pain, and other joint conditions.
  • Boosts Strength & Flexibility: The water provides gentle resistance, helping you build muscle strength and improve your range of motion.
  • Reduces Pain & Swelling: The warmth of the water can help soothe pain and reduce swelling.
  • Improves Balance & Coordination: The water provides a safe and supportive environment to improve your balance and coordination.
  • Enhances Recovery: Hydrotherapy can be a fantastic way to speed up your recovery after surgery or injury.
