-
Is aquatic physiotherapy suitable for me?Aquatic physiotherapy is highly versatile and can benefit individuals recovering from surgeries, managing chronic conditions like arthritis, or rehabbing sports injuries. During your initial consultation, our therapists will evaluate your medical history, current physical condition, and recovery goals to determine if aquatic physiotherapy is the right fit for you.
-
What should I expect during my first session?Your first session will begin with a one-on-one discussion with your therapist to review your condition and goals. This will be followed by a guided introduction to the therapy pool, where you will perform gentle exercises tailored to your needs. Your therapist will explain each exercise, monitor your comfort level, and adjust the programme as needed.
-
How does aquatic physiotherapy compare to traditional physiotherapy?Aquatic physiotherapy uses the natural properties of water, such as buoyancy and resistance, to create a low-impact environment that reduces joint stress. This makes it particularly suitable for patients who find land-based exercises challenging due to pain or mobility issues. While traditional physiotherapy focuses on targeted, hands-on techniques, aquatic therapy provides a complementary, low-stress alternative for recovery.
-
Do I need to know how to swim to benefit from aquatic physiotherapy?Absolutely not. Aquatic physiotherapy is conducted in a shallow, warm pool, and our therapists are always present to ensure your safety. You will remain within a comfortable depth, and flotation devices can be used if needed. The focus is on gentle, therapeutic movements rather than swimming.
-
How quickly will I see results from aquatic physiotherapy?Results vary depending on your condition and consistency with therapy. Many patients report feeling more relaxed and mobile after just a few sessions. Long-term improvements, such as increased strength and reduced pain, typically require several weeks of regular therapy. Your therapist will track your progress and make adjustments to maximise results.
