Benefits of Hydrotherapy

Engaging in hydrotherapy under the guidance of a Determined2 AEP can provide numerous benefits:

Less pain, easier movement

Warm water and buoyancy take pressure off the joints, allowing people to move in a supportive environment that reduces pain

Better flexibility & mobility

The water supports gentle stretching and helps improve range of motion.

Stronger muscles

Water provides safe resistance to build strength and endurance without overloading the body.

Improved balance & stability

Develop balance, stability and confidence by practicing movement without the risk of falling.

Reduced swelling & better circulation

Water pressure and warmth help reduce swelling and improve blood flow..

Relaxation & stress reduction

The soothing warm water helps ease muscle tension and promote a sense of wellbeing.

Sensory regulation

The warmth, pressure, and gentle movement of water can help calm the nervous system and support sensory regulation.

An accessible way to exercise

If traditional exercise is overwhelming or difficult, hydrotherapy can be a more accessible, enjoyable way to get moving.
