Hydrotherapy
From the fountain of youth to the mineral baths that cure all afflictions, everyone
loves the feel of a warm pool. Hydrotherapy is conducted in small groups under the
supervision of a physiotherapist from Mill Park Physiotherapy Centre.
The advantages of hydrotherapy include: support, buoyancy, warmth, resistance to movement and compression.
Many conditions can be helped by hydrotherapy including back and neck problems,
sports injury, arthritic problems, work-related injuries, antenatal and
postnatal
exercise, recovery from orthopaedic
surgery.
Hydrotherapy can:
- Strengthen muscles
- Mobilise joints
- Relieve pain
- Promote relaxation
- Improve general fitness
- Improve balance and coordination
The physiotherapist is experienced in conducting
hydrotherapy classes for a wide range of people with different problems. From sports
injuries to back injuries to regaining the ability to walk, the physiotherapist
will devise a suitable program to help get you back on track.
How to get started:
It is ideal to have an assessment for your suitability to undertake hydrotherapy

can be arranged at Mill Park Physiotherapy Centre.

small groups at the Mill Park YMCA (Morang Drive Mill Park). Tuesday
