Physica Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a fantastic form of exercise that involves performing rehabilitative exercises in water. Your program is designed by your physiotherapist and is aimed at your specific needs and requirements. These programs can then be continued independently by yourself in the future.
The exercises in the pool use a variety of buoyancy devices such as noodles, kickboards, floats and paddles to adjust difficulty levels for all patients. The effects of buoyancy and the resistance of water are the mediums that make hydrotherapy effective.
Whilst in the water, you are able to perform a variety of exercises that may not be suitable on land. The reduced weightbearing in water also means that you can start hydrotherapy very early after surgery, therefore avoiding the effects of muscle deconditioning.
Hydrotherapy is conducted in a warm water pool that is about 34 degrees Celsius, so it is perfect for relaxing and loosening muscles and joints.
About Physica Hydrotherapy
Physica runs hydrotherapy at 3 locations - AquaNation Ringwood, Aquahub Croydon, and Knox Leisureworks. You can join a hydrotherapy class regardless of which Physica site you attend, just pick the most suitable time and day.
Before you join a class, you will need to have a hydrotherapy assessment conducted by any of our physiotherapists. This is a one-time assessment to ensure that we have a good understanding of your injury, relevant medical history, and can formulate goals to work towards.
During your hydrotherapy sessions, the physiotherapist will be in the water with you to assist with your exercises and to provide feedback.

What do I need to bring to hydrotherapy?
