Description
Hydrotherapy consists of active exercises carried out in water.
Hydrotherapy exercises are tailored to the needs of each individual to give patients the best opportunity to improve their condition
How Does Hydrotherapy Work?
The exercises should not significantly increase the participant's pain during treatment or immediately afterwards. The resistance (weight) of the water pushes against the patient's body as they do exercises. This can help improve circulation (blood flow), relieve pain and relax and strengthen muscles.
Patients normally receive 6-8 sessions and then their treatment is reviewed. Hydrotherapy sessions are for both men and women of any age.
There is a great atmosphere at sessions; it is very friendly and relaxed. You do not have to be able to swim to attend hydrotherapy.
