Hydrotherapy
Water-based therapy designed to support mobility, reduce discomfort and improve function through targeted rehabilitation exercises.
Hydrotherapy
At Nicole Lavin Neurorehab, hydrotherapy provides an opportunity to perform therapeutic exercise in a warm-water pool. The properties of water create a supportive environment that can make movement easier and more comfortable.
How We Can Help
The buoyancy of the water reduces the load on joints and muscles while still allowing individuals to strengthen muscles and practise movement patterns.
Hydrotherapy may help to:
• Improve strength and muscle control
• Increase flexibility and range of movement
• Support balance and stability
• Reduce stiffness and discomfort
• Build confidence with movement
Hydrotherapy uses the support of warm water to help improve movement, strength, balance, and confidence. It can be especially helpful for people who find land-based exercise more difficult or uncomfortable.
A supportive rehabilitation environment
Exercising in water allows many individuals to perform movements that may be more difficult on land. This can help build confidence while gradually improving strength and mobility.
Linking with other therapy
Hydrotherapy can complement other rehabilitation services such as neurological physiotherapy, exercise groups, and community-based rehabilitation, supporting continued progress in different therapeutic environments.
