Hydrotherapy
The Spinal Life Healthy Living Centre in Cairns has an onsite heated hydrotherapy pool available for one-on-one appointments with our highly experienced Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists.
Hydrotherapy involves specific exercises using water resistance and is ideal for people with restricted mobility, as they have more freedom of movement in the buoyant environment.
The water is also heated to a specific temperature, which can help with reducing pain, promoting muscle relaxation and facilitating movement.
Why should I consider hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy has many unique benefits, including:
- Increased muscle strength and endurance
- Decreased joint pain and lower muscle fatigue
- Improved cardiovascular fitness and functional movement
- Supported rehabilitation after injury
Our Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists specialise in complex neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation and will collaborate with you to help you reach your health, wellness and fitness goals.
