Hydrotherapy (also known as Aquatic Physiotherapy) is a form of physiotherapy or therapeutic exercise and/or treatment conducted in warm water under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Hydrotherapy utilizes the properties of water to assist in the treatment of an individual’s condition. The major benefit of hydrotherapy is being able to exercise or treat while the water takes the load off weight bearing joints, relieving pain and improving function, and provides resistance to movements in a more gentle form than other exercise.
When and where is Hydrotherapy conducted?
Maximize Health provides both group sessions and one-on-one sessions at the Macgregor practice. Group sessions are conducted onsite on Tuesday and Friday from 11:30am – 12:30pm in the CBJ health club pool. Individual sessions are available on request. In order to get the greatest benefit from aquatic physiotherapy we require a land based assessment prior to the entering the class.
