What do I need to bring to a hydrotherapy session?
You only need your bathers, a towel and potentially a change of clothes to attend a hydrotherapy session. There is no head submersion so goggles are not necessary. In terms of equipment, the swim centre allows us to access various devices that can be used for exercises such as floating dumbbells, noodles and kickboards.
When is hydrotherapy not suitable?
Our physiotherapist will do their utmost to ensure you are safe and suitable for hydrotherapy. However, there are some conditions that could possibly prevent you from being able to do hydrotherapy. These may include:
– Uncontrolled seizures/epilepsy
– Gastro/Diarrhoea
– Open wounds/active infections
– Significant hydrophobia (fear of water)
– Significantly poor balance
