Conditions Treated

An overview of the conditions treated.

Hydrotherapy can benefit many different conditions, including:

• Arthritis
• Ankylosing Spondylitis
• Post fracture
• Post orthopedic surgery (e.g. Total Hip Replacement, Total Knee Replacement, spinal surgery)
• Sports injuries
• Lower back pain
• General decreased fitness

HydroActive Ltd is able to offer a treatment and exercise programme tailored to suit the individual’s needs and specific condition. The aim of hydrotherapy is to ease pain and reduce any swelling as well as increase the range of movement; progressing towards increasing muscle strength and general fitness.

Exercise Programmes

As part of your treatment, the physiotherapist will produce a detailed exercise plan tailored to your needs and specific condition. Using computer software called Physiotools©, the physiotherapist will provide you with a handout containing pictures and instructions of each exercise prescribed, which can be modified or updated as required. We’ll provide you with your own copy of the handout should you wish to practice your exercises in between appointment times.

FAQ's

What will I need?
You will need to bring a swimming costume, a towel and shower gel.

What happens if I can’t swim?
Do not worry if you cannot swim. A physiotherapist will be with you in the water at all times and a lifeguard will be on the poolside. If you are fearful of water you can exercise in the shallow end and hold onto the hand rails.

How do I get in the pool? Access to the pool is via steps with hand-rails if you are able, otherwise a hoist is available to those patients who are less mobile.

What are the side-effects?
The warmth of the water and the exercise may make you feel tired afterwards.

These include:
• Wound or skin infection
• Viruses/stomach upset
• Raised temperature
• High/low blood pressure
• Breathing difficulties
• Some kidney problems
• Angina/heart problems
