Hydrotherapy.
AquaCare & AquaStrength

The benefits of exercising in water lie primarily in the buoyancy & resistance offered by the water.

💧  Physiotherapists use the pool to start & progress programs. This enables a transition to land based exercise or can replace land based programs all together.
💧  We have small group classes guided by a Senior Physiotherapist Annabelle Marcot, with an individual assessment prior to the class.
💧  Sessions can be tailored to all levels of activity & conditions.
