04Hydrotherapy

Rehab that feels
lighter on your joints.

Ideal after surgery, for arthritis, or whenever land-based exercise is too painful to begin.

Ideal after surgery, for arthritis, or whenever land-based exercise is too painful to begin. We guide you through a tailored pool program, then progress you back to full activity.

  • Buoyancy

    Low-impact loading

    Water takes weight off painful joints so you can move earlier in recovery.

  • Warmth

    Warm-water comfort

    Heated pools relax tight muscles and make exercises easier to tolerate.

  • Resistance

    Gentle strengthening

    Water gives all-round resistance to rebuild strength without heavy weights.

  • Confidence

    Trust in motion

    A supported environment to rebuild balance, mobility and confidence.

02Who it suits

The people who get the most out of the water.

  • 01Post-surgical

    Early after joint surgery

    Water offloads the joint enough to start moving well before land-based exercise is tolerable — as soon as your wounds are healed and your surgeon is happy.

  • 02Arthritis

    Painful, stiff joints

    Warmth and buoyancy together make range-of-movement work far more comfortable, which means you actually do enough of it to benefit.

  • 03Persistent pain

    When land exercise flares you

    A gentler starting point for people whose symptoms spike with weight-bearing, and a way to rebuild confidence in movement.

  • 04Balance

    Unsteadiness and falls risk

    The water lets you work right at the edge of your balance without the consequence of falling — which is exactly where balance improves.

03Questions

Before your first pool session.

  • No. The program is done standing in shallow, chest-depth water with the pool edge in reach the whole time. Swimming is never part of it.
