Neuro-therapist led hydrotherapy program
Our Hydro program is led by physiotherapists and exercise physiologists who have expertise in hydrotherapy for MS and other neurological conditions. We are committed to providing a program that delivers comparable benefits to traditional exercise programs, with the added advantage of warm water therapy.
How can Hydro help you?
The benefits of hydrotherapy for people living with MS and other neurological conditions include:
- Reducing muscle tightness and stiffness
- Improving joint flexibility and increased range of motion
- Enhancing muscle activity using the buoyancy of water
- Developing motor control and improving the ability to perform daily activities
- Building muscle strength, improving balance and overall wellbeing
- Enhancing independence and quality of life
- Having some fun and relaxing in the warm, soothing waters
Incorporating hydrotherapy into your exercise routine reduces muscle spasms, making it a valuable addition to any program. Our physiotherapists or exercise physiologists can work one-on-one with you, or you can join a group* program that best suits your needs.
*Please note group sessions may not be suitable for everyone.
