Hydrotherapy Rehabilitation
Pool-based physiotherapy. Hydrotherapy uses physio techniques in a heated pool to support rehabilitation for a variety of conditions and injuries.
What is hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is the application of physiotherapy techniques in water and can be a useful adjunct to rehabilitation. Water-based exercise can be beneficial if you're recovering from a sports injury, orthopaedic surgery or trauma.
Prior to treatment, you'll have a comprehensive assessment to establish your strengths, weaknesses and the goals of your treatment.
Hydrotherapy is often possible even if you have chronic pain or reduced mobility that limits you from exercising on land. The warm water of the therapy pool helps to soothe and relax your muscles and joints, while providing low-impact resistance to help you build or regain strength.
At The Wellington Hospital hydrotherapy is used to support patients in neurological rehabilitation. The Portland Hospital also offers off-site hydrotherapy for children.
