Hydrotherapy
or Aquatic Physiotherapy is a physiotherapy treatment carried out in the water, usually a heated pool. The warmth and buoyancy of the water greatly assist pain relief and relaxation. Hydrotherapy is an appropriate and effective form of treatment for all age groups and the majority of conditions. It allows the benefits of exercise to be combined with the additional benefits of immersion in water. The physiotherapist is usually in the pool with the patient and is able to do a variety of “hands on” techniques, including joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, stretching as well as guiding and correcting exercise and movement technique. People enjoy the water, feel good in it, and can achieve a great deal.Margaret has a particular interest in treating people in a warm hydrotherapy pool, using manual techniques and exercises. Once an exercise programme has been prescribed, and if you are assessed as being safe and it is appropriate, you may continue your exercise programme independently.
