Hydrotherapy may be suitable for you as part of your treatment plan at NMC.
Benefits
- The heat of the water helps to relax muscles and ease pain, providing soothing relief.
- The buoyancy of water reduces the effects of gravity, making it easier for people with mobility issues to weight-bear and challenge their balance in a risk-free environment.
- Water provides natural resistance, allowing you to work your muscles at an appropriate level without the risk of overuse or underuse.
Health considerations
While hydrotherapy is generally considered very safe, there may be certain health conditions or circumstances that could prevent someone from exercising in water.
