Hydrotherapy is beneficial for a range of acute and chronic conditions, particularly when pain is limiting function and capacity. It’s a great stepping stone into land based exercise prescription with a range of benefits including:

• pain management,

• muscle spasms,

• improved joint range of motion,

• muscle re-education, and

• in building general exercise tolerance.

As hydrotherapy is a low impact form of physical activity it has become popular as an initial post operative form of exercise rehabilitation.

Patients that can benefit from hydrotherapy include (but are not limited to):

• those with chronic back or muscular pain,

• arthritis, and

• pre and post surgeries related to knee, shoulder, and hip
