Hydrotherapy

 Hydrotherapy is a proven rehabilitation technique for lower back pain, chronic pain injuries, joint replacements, upper-extremity injuries, and other ailments. Our Hydrotherapy pool is located in our brand new Recovery & Rehab Centre based at PhysioXtra Marion.

The pool is a warm 30 degrees at all times, a hoist is available to assist those who require help to enter the pool & our water treadmill is available for all to use.

Hydrotherapy can help you in a number of different ways:

• The warmth of the water allows your muscles to relax and ease the pain in your joints, helping you to exercise easier.
• The water supports your weight, which helps to relieve pain and increase the range of movement of your joints.
• The water can be used to provide resistance to moving your joints. By pushing your arms and legs against the water, you can also improve your muscle strength.

Our trained Physiotherapist’s will tailor the exercises to your individual needs, so you can start to slowly and gradually build up your strength and flexibility.
