What Hydrotherapy Offers
Hydrotherapy, also known as aquatic therapy, utilizes water to treat a range of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. The buoyancy of water supports the body, reducing pressure on joints and bones while improving movement. Warm water therapy helps relax muscles, enhance circulation, and ease pain. Hydrotherapy provides a gentle yet effective treatment for those recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or experiencing mobility challenges.
How Hydrotherapy Works
Water's natural properties—buoyancy, resistance, and warmth—help improve strength, flexibility, and recovery. During hydrotherapy:
Buoyancy supports the body, allowing easier movement with reduced joint stress. Warm water relaxes muscles, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation. Water resistance provides a low-impact environment for strengthening muscles.
Hydrotherapy treatments involve exercises performed in a pool under the guidance of trained physiotherapists.
Conditions Treated with Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy effectively treats a variety of conditions, including:
Benefits of Hydrotherapy
Pain Relief:
Warm water therapy reduces muscle and joint pain, providing long-lasting relief.
Improved Mobility:
Buoyancy makes movement easier, allowing greater flexibility and range of motion.
Muscle Strengthening:
Water’s resistance provides an effective workout, strengthening muscles without stressing the joints.
Faster Recovery:
Ideal for individuals recovering from surgery or injury, hydrotherapy speeds up the rehabilitation process.
