Aquatic Physiotherapy
Formerly known as Hydrotherapy is a form of Physiotherapy treatment in a heated pool. Patients at Unley Physiotherapy are assessed and given a specific water based exercise program to assist in their rehabilitation and physical well being. A progressive individualised program is offered under the supervision of a qualified physiotherapist with experience in rehabilitation for all movement disorders.
Both the heat and buoyancy of the water help to induce relaxation and relieve pain and combined with regular physiotherapy can improve the rate of recovery. Water offers an environment to exercise with freedom of movement or increased resistance, assisting with many rehabilitation programs.

• Back and Neck Pain
