Hydrotherapy
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is a specific physiotherapist supervised treatment and exercise program in a heated pool (32°C).
What is Hydrotherapy beneficial for?
* Post surgery
* Assisting with injury rehabilitation
* Arthritis
* Exercising sore and painful joints
* General fitness/balance
Hydrotherapy can benefit many injuries but is particularly beneficial for arthritis, fractures and post-surgery.
The heat encourages stiff muscles and joints to relax, whilst the buoyancy of the water takes the load off the weight bearing joints allowing them to be exercised painlessly.
Improve strength and flexibility
Hydrotherapy is often used to improve strength and flexibility before beginning a gym or home based program. Hydrotherapy is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Being at a constant safe depth it is not necessary to be a competent swimmer in order to benefit.
Our physiotherapists run several classes every week between the Cotton Tree Pool and the Buderim Community Pool.
Our group classes provide a safe, professional and most of all enjoyable environment! Classes have generally no more than 10-12 patients per class, this ensures the physiotherapist can concentrate on each individual.
Individual hydrotherapy sessions are also available by request.
How do I book in?
An initial assessment in our rooms (either Marochydore, Buderim, Nambour or Coolum) is required before you get started in the pool, this ensures our physiotherapists can thoroughly assess you and tailor a hydrotherapy program to best suit your individual needs.
A doctors referral is not required (unless you are claiming through Workcover or Veteran’s Affairs), but we do recommend that you get your doctors clearance to begin physical activity especially if you are recovering from an injury. We do liaise closely with your medical practitioner to ensure the best results.
