💧 What Is Hydrotherapy?

Gentle, Effective Water Based Therapy for All Ages

Hydrotherapy is a form of therapeutic exercise conducted in a heated pool, guided by a qualified Physiotherapist or Instructor. It’s a safe, enjoyable, and low-impact way to improve strength, mobility, and overall wellbeing ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels.

🌡️ Why Heated Water Matters

The Australian Physiotherapy Association recommends a water temperature of 33°C, which promotes muscle relaxation and enhances the effectiveness of aquatic physiotherapy. Warm water reduces joint stress, improves circulation, and supports pain relief.
