Hydrotherapy (Aquatic Physiotherapy)

Rehabilitation in the Comfort of a Warm Water Pool

Hydrotherapy, also known as Aquatic Physiotherapy, is a gentle and effective way to support your recovery using the unique benefits of a warm water pool. The buoyancy of the water reduces the impact of gravity, making movement easier while helping to decrease pain, improve mobility and build strength.

Our physiotherapists will assess your condition in the clinic before developing an individualised hydrotherapy program tailored to your goals. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition or returning to activity after an injury, hydrotherapy can be an excellent addition to your rehabilitation.

How Hydrotherapy Can Help

Hydrotherapy may be beneficial for:

  • Joint replacements and post-operative rehabilitation

  • Arthroscopic surgery recovery

  • Back and neck pain

  • Muscle, tendon and ligament injuries

  • Arthritis and joint pain

  • Strength and conditioning

  • Balance and falls prevention

  • Core strengthening

What to Expect

Before commencing hydrotherapy, you'll have an assessment with one of our physiotherapists to determine whether aquatic rehabilitation is suitable for you. If you have certain medical conditions, your physiotherapist may recommend obtaining medical clearance from your GP before beginning treatment.

Sessions are held in the warm water pool at AquaHub Croydon and are limited to a maximum of three participants, allowing your physiotherapist to provide individualised guidance and supervision throughout your session.
