There are many conditions and injuries that hydrotherapy can benefit. These range from musculoskeletal to muscle and ligament injuries; post-surgical rehabilitation including hip, knee and shoulder replacements and knee cruciate ligament reconstructions; ankle and back surgery and post fracture rehabilitation.



Together with low back, thoracic spine and neck pain including sciatica, whiplash and chronic back pain, different forms of arthritis can also be helped including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Hydrotherapy can even help neurological conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.

Hydrotherapy is a therapeutic treatment that can treat the whole body by moving and exercising in water – thereby benefiting from physiotherapy while the water takes the strain. For example, hydrotherapy tends to promote slow, controlled movements and is relaxing. 

The water lets your muscles relax and, at the same time, eases the stiffness and pain in your joints, for example. You are then able to exercise while the water supports you and provides resistance so that you can also improve your muscle strength.

Together with improving muscle strength and relieving pain, hydrotherapy can improve general fitness too. The more we build up your strength and stamina, the better you will feel and your confidence will also benefit.

We have many very happy clients who have reaped the rewards of hydrotherapy so if you have any queries or concerns, we would be happy to alleviate your concerns.
