Description
Hydrotherapy consists of active exercises carried out in water. Our sessions take place at Hoyland Leisure Centre; it is a normal swimming pool but the temperature of the water is slightly higher than most swimming pools.
Hydrotherapy exercises are tailored to the needs of each individual to give you the best opportunity to improve your condition.
Hydrotherapy sessions are for both men and women of any age. There’s a great atmosphere at our sessions; it’s very friendly and relaxed.
How does Hydrotherapy work?
The exercises you are given should not significantly increase your pain during treatment or immediately afterwards. If you do have a significant increase in your symptoms then please tell us immediately.You’ll find you can do much more with the support of the water! The resistance (weight) of the water pushes against your body as you do exercises. This can help improve your circulation (blood flow), relieve pain and relax and strengthen your muscles.
