At River Allied Health, we are proud to offer hydrotherapy - an effective treatment that leverages the natural properties of water to promote healing and recovery. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, or looking to improve your mobility, hydrotherapy provides a low-impact and supportive environment for rehabilitation and strength building.
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy uses the natural support and resistance of water to help individuals of all ages improve movement, build strength, relieve pain, and enhance overall wellness. By working in a warm pool, patients benefit from the buoyancy of water, which reduces stress on joints and minimises discomfort while still allowing for an effective workout.
Hydrotherapy can be customised to suit each person’s specific needs and goals. Our trained professionals guide exercises that range from gentle to more intensive, helping individuals progress at their own pace. Whether you're easing into rehabilitation or looking to enhance your fitness routine, hydrotherapy offers a flexible approach to healing.
The Benefits of Hydrotherapy
Pain Relief & Reduced Inflammation The soothing warmth of the water helps to relax muscles and alleviate pain, reducing inflammation and promoting faster recovery.
Improved Strength & Mobility With the natural resistance of water, you can build strength and improve joint mobility without the strain of traditional land-based exercises.
Safe & Supportive Environment Hydrotherapy offers a safe space to exercise, especially for individuals with limited mobility or those recovering from surgery or injury.
Enhanced Circulation The water’s gentle pressure helps to boost circulation, reducing swelling and promoting faster healing.
Boosted Confidence Often used as a stepping stone in rehabilitation, hydrotherapy helps individuals build strength and confidence in a low-risk setting before progressing to land-based exercises.
Provide Sensory Support Immersion in water can be a very effective sensory tool to enhance, or enable, therapy for those with sensory requirements. The pool is also an easy place to make therapy ‘fun’ and more interactive for kids needing therapy.
