Hydrotherapy also known as Aquatic Physiotherapy is a natural therapeutic treatment which is a fantastic form of alternative medicine.
Hydrotherapy involves warm water immersion in a comfortable, soothing temperature of approximately 33-35 degree celsius.
Alternatively this can be performed in outdoor pools, indoor pools or home swimming pools in the warmer seasons.
Hydrotherapy utilizes the properties of water such as heat, pressure, resistance and buoyancy to be an effective form of treatment for almost everyone.
Hypo tension, diabetes, pregnancy, asthma, angina, epilepsy. Please bring appropriate medications and seek medical clearance if concerned prior to attendance. For asthmatics please bring reliever medications to have on hand if required and for diabetics it is advised that blood glucose levels are checked immediately before and after exercise.
