Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy at PROmotion is a supervised small group exercise
session run out of local Claremont facilities. Our clinicians are able
to provide you with an individualised hydrotherapy program to
target your injury and concerns.
Hydrotherapy, also known as aquatic therapy or water therapy, involves the use of water to promote healing, relieve pain, and improve physical well-being. This therapeutic approach has been used for centuries and offers a range of benefits due to the unique properties of water.
Benefits:
-
Buoyancy provided by the water aids in reducing weightbearing, providing minimal impact on joints.
-
The water provides resistance against muscle and therefore allows for gentle strengthening.
-
The water provides a safe environment to reduce the risk of injury
Ideal for:
-
Post- orthopaedic surgery (e.g. total hip and knee replacements, spinal surgeries)
-
Arthritic pain
-
Acute back injuries
-
General exercise + conditioning
-
Return to running post-surgery
All patients must complete an assessment with an exercise physiologist where a detailed assessment is taken regarding past and present medical history, to assess your movement patterns and determine your goals. From there you will be booked into a 45minute session with an individualised hydrotherapy program.
Hydrotherapy at PROmotion is delivered by physiotherapists and exercise physiologists and is billed as a group physiotherapy session, ensuring that private health rebates apply. You may confirm this with your private health provider.
