Hydrotherapy, or as it is now called, aquatic physiotherapy, is a great way to begin rehabilitation for those with severe low back pain or with injuries to the lower limbs.  It allows exercises to be done to improve strength and flexibility in a pain free environment.  The warm water (34º Celsius) improves circulation and the buoyancy of the water reduces the force on the joints allowing exercise at an earlier stage of injury and speeding up recovery. Often, your physiotherapist will be able to provide you with an individual program that you can continue independently.

Hydrotherapy is available in half-hour, individual appointments with our Physiotherapist on Tuesday mornings at the Palm Beach Hydrotherapy Pool (in the Palm Beach Olympic Pool Centre). Health refunds are available.
