Aquatic Physiotherapy (or Hydrotherapy) is physiotherapy in a pool environment. We use the properties of the water and a variety of treatment approaches (including manual therapy and exercise) to address a wide range of conditions and therapeutic goals. The buoyancy in the pool can be used to assist or resist movement, which is not possible out of the water. The pool we use is heated to about 32 degrees to help warm up your muscles and facilitate your body’s movement.
About PhysiEx Hydrotherapy
The Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist will prescribe and monitor a program of specific exercises or techniques to be performed in an individual session. An exercise class is also provided to increase muscle tone, range of motion and cardiovascular fitness. This may involve equipment such as pool noodles and weights.
