Aqua Therapy
Aqua therapy is water therapy to relieve pain and promote physical well-being through exercise and relaxation.
It should however be noted that the pools we use at Swallows (Sittingbourne) and Roko health club (Gillingham) are about 25-29°C, although they are cooler they still offer the same benefits of being able to reduce the stress on your joints.
Aqua therapy can be used for:
- Soothing sore and inflamed joints and muscles
- Rehabilitation following lower/upper limb fractures, spinal, hip, knee and ankle surgery
- Arthritis such as osteo/ rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis
- Neurological conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy
- After joint replacement surgery
- Sports injuries
- Acute and chronic low back pain
Our patients find Aqua therapy effective at introducing therapy while at the same relieving stress on joints.
