Hydrotherapy Melrose Park
Understanding Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy, a widely recognised physiotherapy approach, leverages the unique properties of water to support joint movement, muscle relaxation, and gentle resistance exercises in a low-impact environment. This treatment is suitable for a range of needs and conditions, provided under the guidance of our experienced physiotherapists.
Benefits of Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy sessions at Core Physiotherapy make use of a controlled, warm water environment (33°C) that promotes comfort and relaxation. Warm water supports muscle relaxation, while buoyancy reduces compressive forces, which can allow for improved movement, particularly helpful for those managing limited joint mobility or recovering from surgery. This approach can support individuals with:
Post-surgical physical rehabilitation
Whiplash-related recovery
Workplace-related injuries
Orthopaedic rehabilitation (including knee, hip, shoulder, and spine)
Active ageing and gentle fitness
Recovery from severe sports injuries where traditional exercise may not be feasible
Conditions Hydrotherapy Can Help With
What to Expect During Hydrotherapy
Our hydrotherapy process begins with a clinical assessment to ensure the suitability and best approach for each client. Sessions involve a structured exercise plan focusing on:
Joint mobilisation for improved flexibility
Core stabilisation exercises for strength and balance
Balance and coordination exercises for enhanced body control
Strengthening exercises to support muscle function
These sessions are designed to accommodate varying fitness levels and are adjusted to fit each client’s comfort and capabilities. Sessions run throughout the week at several convenient locations in Adelaide.
