Hydrotherapy is very beneficial for musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis and back pain. Hydrotherapy is commonly used in post operative patients to begin re-conditioning exercises. The buoyancy of water allows a lot of exercises to be carried out that would be difficult on land. The water eliminates the risk of falls and therefore is a great place to start balance and proprioceptive retraining. The resistance of the water can also be used to strengthen most body parts and is good cardiovascular re-training. Exercises are tailored individually to each patient’s specific condition and needs, and are then progressed as progress is made. Classes are small and intimate so each patient receives adequate guidance and supervision.
