Hydro Therapy

Hydro TherapyWater Water allows us all to achieve marvellous feats of movement which can be performed on land only with difficulty if at all. New knowledge regarding the physiology of hydrotherapy and new techniques using patterns of movement adapted to water and more water specific exercises are ensuring that hydrotherapy is becoming increasingly accepted as a medium for rehabilitation in its own right.

One authority believes that the use of hydrotherapy antedates that of all other modalities employed in physical medicine. Here the body is simultaneously acted upon by two forces-gravity (or downward thrust) and buoyancy (or up ward thrust)- providing us with the possibility if three dimensional exercise and allowing movement and non-weight bearing activities to occur.
