Hydrotherpay

Hydrotherapy uses the therapeutic effects of warm water to help a variety of different problems. The warm water provides increased buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, warmth and resistance which can be utilised by your physiotherapist to help with your recovery.

At Leeds Physiotherapy our teams of specialist neurological and musculoskeletal physiotherapists are able to offer hydrotherapy for a range of conditions. The calming therapeutic atmosphere of the swimming pool allows you to progress further than you would on land in shorter space of time. Some of the more common areas we treat with hydrotherapy at Leeds Physiotherapy include:

Hydrotherapy following surgery

Hydrotherapy can be used to effectively speed up recovery following surgery. The water can be used to allow people to complete movements they would be otherwise unable to complete on dry land. This can reduce down time following surgery and get you back to your normal activities as soon as possible. Some of the more common types of surgery where hydrotherapy may be used are:

Iqbal, Leeds

"My physio explained what had happened, gave me a clear timetable for my recovery and gave me exercises designed to get me back to work as soon as possible."

Steve, Osmondthorpe

"My wife can now walk around the house with a stick, can use the stairs and is more able to do things herself. We feel it has been a great help as I don’t think I could have coped alone."
