Hydrotherapy for pain management

Hydrotherapy for pain management

For those patients who need to increase their exercise levels to improve mobility and strength, but find it very difficult to weight bear or have widespread pain, hydrotherapy can be an excellent alternative to land-based exercise. This takes place in the hydrotherapy pool at Worcestershire Royal Hospital.

You will be assessed initially on a 1:1 basis but then you will exercise in the water, being led by a physiotherapist, but also alongside other patients. The buoyancy of the water means that our bodies feel lighter in the water, making it easier to weight bear and move around.
