Why Hydrotherapy Works

Buoyancy reduces pressure on joints, making movement easier and pain-free.

Warmth helps relax tight muscles, improve blood flow, and alleviate stiffness.
-
Resistance allows for gentle, controlled strengthening of muscles without the strain of traditional exercises.
How Hydrotherapy Supports Pain Management
-
Reduced Impact: Water supports your body weight, taking pressure off painful joints and muscles.
-
Improved Mobility: The warmth and fluid movement of hydrotherapy encourage flexibility and restore range of motion.
