Hydrotherapy FAQs

What is hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy is a form of rehabilitation and exercise performed in our purpose-built heated hydrotherapy pool. The warmth and buoyancy of the water reduce pressure on joints, muscles, and the spine, allowing you to move more comfortably while improving strength, balance, mobility, and fitness. Our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists tailor each program to your individual needs and goals.

Do I need to know how to swim?

No. While it can be helpful, swimming ability is not required. The pool is designed for rehabilitation, and we can provide buoyancy and flotation devices to help you feel safe and supported in the water. Our team will guide you throughout your session and ensure the program matches your confidence and ability level.

Is the Hydrotherapy Pool Accessible for Wheelchair Users?

Yes. Our facility is wheelchair accessible and equipped with a state-of-the-art ceiling hoist, allowing safe and comfortable transfers into and out of the hydrotherapy pool for clients with limited mobility. We also have an in-clinic commode available to assist clients who require additional support. Our team will coordinate safe pool access and tailor your hydrotherapy experience to your individual needs. If you have specific mobility requirements, please let us know before your appointment so we can make the necessary arrangements.

What Should I Bring to My Session?

Please bring swimwear and a towel. You may also wish to bring a change of clothes and thongs or pool shoes for walking around the facility. If you use mobility aids such as a walking stick, walker, or wheelchair, please bring these along as well.

How Is Hydrotherapy Different from Water Aerobics?

Hydrotherapy is individually prescribed rehabilitation delivered by qualified health professionals. Your program is specifically designed around your injury, medical condition, recovery goals, and fitness level. Water aerobics is generally a group fitness class aimed at improving overall fitness and cardiovascular health rather than providing targeted rehabilitation.

Who Can Benefit from Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy can benefit people of all ages and abilities, including those with: Arthritis and joint pain Back and neck pain Sports injuries Post-surgical rehabilitation Balance and mobility difficulties Chronic pain conditions Neurological conditions Work-related injuries Motor vehicle accident injuries Strength and fitness deficits The supportive environment of the water makes exercise easier, safer, and often less painful than exercising on land.
