We use a Swimex 1000-T hydrotherapy pool that
is fully equipped with laminar water current technology
which your therapist will use to optimise the intensity
of your workout. The pool also utilises an integrated
underwater treadmill in tandem with the water current
technology.
Aquatic therapy is the safest and most progressive
form of rehabilitation because it takes place in a gravity
neutral environment thus decreasing impact and
trauma on weight bearing joints during
rehabilitation. The simulated weightlessness allows
treatment to begin earlier and more safely, thus
accelerating the healing process.
Our aquatic therapy programmes are conducted by
qualifi ed physiotherapists, who are highly trained
in aquatic therapy. All programmes are specifi cally
tailored to the needs of each individual patient.
Crucially the therapy is goal orientated so the patient
achieves something in each session. This approach
helps to ensure that the best possible rehabilitation
outcomes are attained.
