How does Hydrotherapy work?

The thermal effect, water resistance and sensation of water all combine to increase your flow of blood and decrease your body’s sensitivity to pain. Immersion in water creates a feeling of weightlessness. It eliminates gravity and adds buoyancy, enabling you to exercise and move in ways in which you would not be able to on dry land. Alternatively the water can be used to add resistance during exercises, strengthening muscles and assisting in recovery from injuries.

Our hydrotherapy sessions are run in our own private indoor heated pool within the Woolgoolga clinic.
