Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy involves exercising in a heated pool to help treat a condition and/or improve your recovery after injury, illness or surgery.

Exercising in water helps reduce the pressure and stress on your body and joints.

The warm water in hydrotherapy pools also increases blood flow which can be beneficial if you have a chronic disease.

Hydrotherapy may be offered to you as part of your rehabilitation care plan, to help you on your way to recovery. You may need medical approval from your doctor to access our hydrotherapy services.
