Water is an excellent base for exercise, providing an anti-stress environment for movement. Gentle water exercises use the water's resistance to build muscle strength and flexibility. Water exercise can benefit people who find weight bearing exercise difficult (or painful) on dry land.

The warmth of the pool causes muscle relaxation and therefore reduces pain during exercise. The buoyancy of the water supports the body, reducing the load through the joints. This makes it easier and more comfortable than exercising on land and provides support when walking.

The benefits of Hydrotherapy are enormous especially for back pain, neck pain, and rehabilitation after surgery.

Swan Valley Physiotherapy provides patient specific exercise programs designed by your physiotherapist to assist you in your rehabilitation. Each person is individually assessed and managed.
