Hydrotherapy on Brisbane’s Northside

At Queensland Physiotherapy, we recognise that hydrotherapy can strongly enhance the rehabilitation for many of our Brisbane clients. Our physiotherapists can provide personalised hydrotherapy sessions at Dipadees Swim School, which is conveniently located in Everton Hills.  

How does Hydrotherapy Help with Injuries?

• Warm Water Immersion and Pain Relief:
  Immersing the body in warm water helps in increasing blood circulation. This increased circulation promotes the release of natural pain relievers in the body.
• Buoyancy and Reduced Joint Stress:
  The buoyancy of water counteracts the effects of gravity, allowing patients to exercise with reduced joint stress.
• Resistance Training in Water:
  Hydrotherapy involves resistance exercises in water, utilizing the natural resistance of water to build muscle strength.
• Hydrostatic Pressure and Oedema Reduction:
  The hydrostatic pressure exerted by water helps in reducing oedema, or swelling, in joints and tissues.
• Improved Range of Motion and Functional Ability:
  Hydrotherapy exercises, performed under the guidance of trained physiotherapists, enhance joint flexibility and overall range of motion.

What Conditions can Benefit from Hydrotherapy?

• Arthritis:
  Helps reduce joint stiffness and pain, allowing for better movement and improved quality of life.
• Fibromyalgia:
  Offers relief through gentle, low-impact exercises, preferred for pain alleviation and relaxation
• Back Pain:
  Can target the deep abdominal and back muscles, offering support to the spine and reducing pressure on the lower back
• Post-Surgical:
  Aids recovery from joint replacements and surgeries, minimizing stress on healing joints and muscles
• Sports Injuries:
  Assists athletes with ligament sprains, muscle strains, or tendinopathies through gentle resistance exercises.
