Hydrotherapy is a specialised form of physiotherapy that utilises water-based exercise and treatment to enhance joint mobility, alleviate pain, and improve strength, balance, and overall functional movement.

The buoyancy, resistance, and warmth of the water create an ideal environment for rehabilitation and long-term therapy, benefiting a wide range of patients.

​

This therapy is particularly effective for post-operative rehabilitation, facilitating recovery after surgeries involving the shoulder, spine, knee, and ankle. The warm water, maintained at a therapeutic level, helps reduce pain while promoting gentle, controlled movement. Additionally, hydrotherapy plays a crucial role in managing acute injuries and swelling, making it an excellent option for those recovering from sports injuries or trauma.

​

Beyond post-surgical and acute injury recovery, hydrotherapy serves as an ongoing treatment for elderly individuals and patients with severe disabilities. The supportive water environment allows for safe, low-impact movement, helping to maintain mobility, reduce stiffness, and improve quality of life.

​

In Grafton, we are fortunate to have a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy facility, a purpose-built space made possible through the dedication and generosity of our local community. This specialised facility ensures that patients have access to high-quality aquatic therapy, enhancing their rehabilitation journey and long-term well-being.
