Uses for aquatic physiotherapy

We use aquatic physiotherapy for a number of different reasons and for exercises that can help to improve strength, balance and coordination due to the resistance of the water.  The buoyancy of water is also ideal to help with the recovery when you can only partially manage to bear weight or not at all.  Water allows for the kind of activities that would be difficult or painful on land.

Primarily, it is used to improve mobility whether after an accident or illness or due to a condition which has reduced movement.  It can also help to reduce pain and muscle spasms as well as improving the muscle strength.

Safe way to improve

The treatment has also shown to be a safe way to improve areas such as cardiovascular fitness and core stability and posture when other land-based treatments may be painful or difficult.  It can help to improve overall balance and coordination, mood and motivation and even stimulate bladder or bowel activity.  Water exercises can enhance lung function and stimulate or improve blood circulation.

We offer treatment in a safe and friendly environment where you can feel comfortable.  All treatments are tailored to the individual to help you achieve your aims and can include other types of treatment as well alongside it.
