Hydrotherapy services
Hydrotherapy is the use of water in the treatment of different conditions, including arthritis and related rheumatic complaints. Hydrotherapy differs from swimming because it involves special exercises that you do in a warm-water pool. The water temperature is usually 33–36ºC, which is warmer than a typical swimming pool. Hydrotherapy helps to reduce joint stiffness, strengthen muscles, alleviate pain, relax muscle groups, improve cardiovascular fitness, improve mobility levels and improve balance and coordination.
Conditions that may be treated with hydrotherapy include:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Fractures
- Back pain
- Muscle sprains
- Post-surgery
- Balance problems
- Neurological conditions
