Why Hydrotherapy? How does it differ from normal Physiotherapy treatment?

Sitting in a pool of warm water might not sound like therapy. But we promise that Hydrotherapy can do wonders for your body. The buoyancy and warmth of the water create a low-impact environment for pain-free movement. A lot more than land-based exercises. So you can enjoy better movement and easier recovery without placing as much pressure on your joints. This makes it an ideal option for those struggling with long-standing conditions or mobility issues.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hydrotherapy?

This is a form of Physiotherapy that involves exercises performed in a specifically designed heated hydrotherapy pool. The buoyancy of the water reduces the weight on joints and muscles. This allows for an increased range of motion and decreased pain during physical activity. The warmth of the water also helps to promote muscle relaxation, blood circulation and pain relief. Overall, Hydrotherapy helps with improving mobility, reducing pain throughout the body, and enhancing overall physical function.

Who should do Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy can help people of all ages and physical abilities, especially those with pain or mobility issues. It's also commonly used in a rehabilitation program after injuries and surgeries and in pregnancy and recovery afterwards. If you're not sure whether this form of aquatic physiotherapy is for you, speak to one of our Physiotherapists about your needs.

How often should you do Hydrotherapy?

The frequency of hydrotherapy sessions depends on individual needs and goals. At your initial consultation, one of our Physiotherapists will do a detailed assessment of your condition to determine the best care plan for you. That includes the ideal aquatic exercises and frequency of Hydrotherapy sessions. Your treatment program is not a set-and-forget either. Our Physiotherapists will work very closely with you to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. So you always get the care you need for the best outcomes.

Is a referral required?

No GP referral is required to see a Physiotherapist for Hydrotherapy services. However, if you are referred through a Chronic Disease Management Program (previously known as Enhanced Primary Care) a GP referral and care plan referral will need to be brought to your initial appointment.

Can I claim this service as an extra on my health insurance policy

Hydrotherapy sessions may be claimed on private health insurance depending on your level of cover. We recommend that you check directly with your private health insurance provider.
