The benefits of Hydrotherapy
18th Dec 2018
Hydrotherapy is often used alongside other rehabilitation programs for those who suffer from a disability, have suffered an injury or suffer from chronic pain.
Generally administered by a physiotherapist in a heated pool, hydrotherapy offers a wide range of health benefits. The buoyancy of the water reduces the need for a patient to bear their weight, helping with muscle spasms, reducing pain and increasing circulation.
Patients who ordinarily could not do simple exercises as walking on the ground, have the opportunity to exercise with the assisted buoyancy of the warm water.
Hydrotherapy also helps to improve strength, flexibility, posture and mobility.
Clients who have benefited from hydrotherapy include those with:
Pain
Arthritis
Sports injuries
Rehabilitation
Post-operative rehabilitation
Disability
Captain Nemo's have been installing pools and remedial spas for our Brisbane and Gold Coast clients who've been needing hydrotherapy to assist them with their conditions, as some patients prefer to have their hydrotherapy sessions in their own home.
With over 30 years experience we can help you to choose the perfect pool or spa for your requirements and have a broad range of pool and spa chemicals, accessories and equipment to keep your pool or spa sparkling and hygienically clean.
