Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does hydrotherapy treat?
Hydrotherapy is used for osteoarthritis, post-surgical rehabilitation, stroke and neurological conditions, fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, obesity, and sports injuries. It is particularly valuable when land exercise is too painful or difficult.
Is hydrotherapy better than regular physiotherapy?
Hydrotherapy and land-based physiotherapy are complementary. Hydrotherapy is particularly effective in early rehabilitation when pain or weakness limits land exercise. Most patients transition to a combined programme as they progress.
Do I need to know how to swim for hydrotherapy?
No — hydrotherapy is performed in shallow water with constant therapist supervision. Swimming ability is not required.
