Hydrotherapy

Water is a fantastic medium to exercise in, especially for those who have pain exercising on land. The exercises can relieve pain, improving range of motion, strengthen and improving function. The weight on you lower limbs is reduced by approximately 75% when exercising in water at chest height. The density of water increases resistance on your muscles for strengthening. Hydrotherapy pools are generally kept at 33-36*c and this warmth helps to reduce muscle tension. The pressure on your lower body (hydrostatic pressure) can also assist in lower limb circulation when exercising in water. Best of all… it’s fun!
