Aquatic physiotherapy

Aquatic Physiotherapy (also known as hydrotherapy or water-based therapy) is a form of physical therapy performed in a warm-water pool. It utilizes the properties of water—such as buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure—to assist in rehabilitation, pain relief, and improved mobility. It is especially beneficial for patients with arthritis, post-surgical recovery, neurological conditions, and musculoskeletal injuries.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduces joint stress due to water buoyancy

  • Enhances muscle strength and flexibility

  • Improves balance, coordination, and circulation

  • Ideal for elderly patients or those with limited mobility
