Aquatic Therapy (more commonly known as hydrotherapy)
Aquatic therapy is physical therapy that takes place in a pool or other aquatic environment under the supervision of a trained healthcare professional. The water tends to be at a temperature of between 34-35 degrees. The buoyancy of the water can help with reducing stress and strain on joints and muscles which helps make movement and exercise less painful as well as enjoyable.
The main benefits of aquatic therapy are:
- Can help improve flexibility and joint/muscle range of movement
- Can help improve muscle strength and endurance
- Can help improve balance and walking
- Can be used for relaxation
How Our Aquatic Therapy Supports You
At Neurotherapy Worx we can offer aquatic therapy sessions to suit an individual’s requirements and help in their rehabilitation process. Assessment and provision of a tailored aquatic therapy plan for the individual can be completed and reviewed when required. Aquatic therapy programmes can be formulated for the individual to complete with their support workers or on a one to one basis with the physiotherapist. In many individuals with neurological impairments, aquatic therapy sessions may be part of the rehabilitation programme along with land-based sessions. Please contact us for further information.
