Hydrotherapy
Discover the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy with Hiya Health’s experienced physiotherapist and exercise physiologists. Our professionals design personalised hydrotherapy programs tailored to your needs, harnessing the gentle resistance of water to enhance mobility and alleviate pain.
Hydrotherapy at Hiya Health
At Hiya Health we offer both Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology led Hydrotherapy services, currently operating in the heated pools in close proximity to each of our clinics. Hydrotherapy is a type of exercise therapy completed in a pool environment with a trained Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist.
Hydrotherapy is a highly accessible form of therapy for chronic disease management, injury recovery, and neuro-rehabilitation.
Outside of our supervised Hydrotherapy sessions, your Physiotherapist or Exercise Physiologist may also discuss an independent Hydrotherapy program for you to complete if appropriate for your treatment plan.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy
Pain relief
The warmth of water, buoyancy effect and reduction in load on painful joints can make it a highly beneficial environment for completing rehabilitation for painful injuries. Improved function: The reduced load can also make it far easier to complete activities for those who struggle to perform tasks on land (eg. walking difficulties due to limb weakness)
No falling
Completing rehabilitation in water means there is very little risk of possible injury from falling, making it an excellent medium to complete exercise in for those at falls-risk or who would benefit from balance training. Improved circulation, cardiovascular function, muscle relaxation, stress reduction And many more reasons… Including fun!
