Hydrotherapy is water based exercise rehabilitation. Hydrotherapy can be very helpful, especially when land based exercises are too difficult or too painful, as we commonly see with acute injuries or early on after an operation.

Our hydrotherapy groups are taken in heated pools, where the warmth helps muscles to relax and joints to loosen, and the natural buoyancy and resistance of water produces an excellent environment in which to gently exercise.

The most common problems treated with hydrotherapy are:

• Arthritic joints especially hips and knees
• Low back injuries
• Sporting injuries
• Post operative rehabilitation

Our trained physiotherapists always provide an individualised program to suit your problem and private health fund rebates apply.

Some centres also offer specific arthritis classes aimed as a maintenance exercise program.
