What is hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is a therapeutic exercise program performed in water, designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellbeing. Unlike regular swimming, hydrotherapy involves controlled movements and exercises guided by trained professionals – usually physiotherapists. [1]
The buoyancy of water can:
- Reduce strain on joints and muscles
- Promote better circulation
- Improve relaxation
The Benefits of Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is widely used for pain relief, mobility improvement, and rehabilitation.
Below are some key benefits:
Pain Relief
Water can relax muscles and reduce tension, helping to alleviate pain and pressure.
Improved mobility
Water makes movement easier and safer for weak or stiff joints. It also helps build resistance and strength.
Enhanced circulation
The pressure of water can help promote better blood flow to help reduce swelling, particularly in the lower limbs.
Reduced joint strain
There’s no need to weight-bear in water, removing any concerns for patients with arthritis or injury while still allowing for gentle movement and exercise.
Muscle strength
Like any exercise, repetitive practice brings results. Hydrotherapy uses water resistance to build strength and improve flexibility without lifting huge weights or hour-long yoga sessions.
Hydrotherapy isn’t appropriate for everyone. We recommend speaking with a qualified physiotherapist to understand whether hydrotherapy would provide health benefits for you.
