Hydrotherapy Pool
Hydrotherapy is an effective way to treat individuals with short and long term neurological and physical conditions.
Service users enjoy a freedom of movement only experienced in the hydrotherapy pool. The water provides them with extra support and the reduced fear of falling can aid mobility and enable them to perform actions that they would otherwise be unable to do.
Hydrotherapy can be used to speed up the recovery of service users who are unable to weight-bear or can only partially weight-bear, by doing exercises against the resistance of water and dynamic exercises which increase the range of movement, improve muscle strength, balance and co-ordination.
For those individuals who cannot use the steps to get into the pool, there is a mechanical or overhead hoist to lower you into the water. Other benefits of hydrotherapy include:
• increase mobility
• reduce pain and muscle spasm
• improve and maintain joint range of movement
• strengthen weak muscle groups
• increase physical fitness and functional tolerances
• re-educate normal movement patterns
• improve balance
• improve co-ordination
• improve posture
• improve self confidence
• stimulate circulation
