What do the classes involve?

Hydrotherapy is a form of physiotherapy and is held in a heated pool by a qualified physiotherapist.

Group and individual sessions are held in a hydrotherapy accredited pool, which is maintained at 32°C. This is the ideal therapeutic temperature for treatment and rehabilitation of injuries.

The activities will be tailored to each person’s ability. Activities may include:

  • gentle stretching
  • upper and lower limb resistance
  • exercises to improve range of motion in joints
  • water walking
  • balance and coordination exercises

All equipment is supplied. Please wear your swimwear and bring a towel, water bottle, non-slip footwear, swimming cap (optional) and any other personal grooming needs for after the session. Please don’t bring valuables into the pool area.

What are the benefits?

Hands-on, pool-based treatment and specifically designed exercises promote physical well-being in a warm relaxing environment.

  • relieve pain due to the warmth and support of the water
