Aquatic therapy (hydrotherapy)
Supportive, low impact Physiotherapy in a heated pool environment
Aquatic Physiotherapy
Aquatic physiotherapy is a supportive, low impact therapy designed to make movement easier, safer and more comfortable. Our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists guide every session in a heated pool, where buoyancy, warmth and gentle resistance help reduce load on your joints and support mobility.
Whether you are recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or building strength after surgery, aquatic therapy can be an ideal first step in your rehabilitation pathway.
Your aquatic sessions form part of a tailored plan built around your goals and supported by your practitioner every step of the way.
Why water based therapy works
In water, your body can move with less pain and more confidence. Our approach uses:
- Buoyancy to reduce joint pressure and support easier movement
- Warmth to relax muscles and improve circulation
- Gentle resistance to build strength without strain
- Hydrostatic pressure to assist with stability and swelling management
These combined benefits help you begin moving sooner and progress safely at your own pace.
Conditions aquatic Physiotherapy can help
Aquatic therapy is suitable for a wide range of health needs, including:
- Post surgical rehabilitation
- Joint pain and arthritis
- Back and neck pain
- Mobility limitations
- Balance and stability concerns
- Persistent pain
- Neurological and age related conditions

If you are looking for a gentle yet effective way to begin moving again, aquatic physiotherapy may be the right path for you.
