What Is Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy — also known as aquatic physiotherapy — is the use of water's unique physical properties to assist rehabilitation, pain management, and exercise. At Action Plus Physiotherapy, our hydrotherapy programs are designed and supervised by qualified physiotherapists in a purpose-built, heated therapeutic pool. The buoyancy of water significantly reduces the load on your joints and muscles, allowing you to perform exercises that would be painful or impossible on land. The warmth of the water promotes muscle relaxation and circulation, while the water's resistance provides gentle yet effective strengthening with every movement. Hydrotherapy is particularly beneficial for patients with arthritis, neurological conditions, post-surgical recovery needs, or anyone who finds land-based exercise difficult or painful. It is also an outstanding tool for early-stage injury rehabilitation and for elderly patients requiring safe, low-impact movement.
