• Hydrotherapy is an excellent form of exercise for people who suffer from back pain. 
• It provides a way to exercise and improve muscle strength, circulation and mobility without the strain or potential for injury of many land-based activities and the warmth and buoyancy of the water can help to relieve pain.

•  Hydrotherapy, or aquatic therapy, involves exercising in warm water. It can help strengthen muscles, reduce pain and improve balance and flexibility. It’s also a great way to undertake a cardiovascular workout. 
• Exercising in the water is a safe and low impact alternative when land-based exercise may be limited by pain, disability or other factors (e.g. pregnancy).
• Hydrotherapy provides a comfortable and supportive environment for the treatment of many conditions where stretching, strengthening and functional retraining is required.

In Australia, a referral is not required to be able to attend hydrotherapy run by an allied health professional, although it is often helpful for you to bring as much information about your health history as well as any specific medical or surgical details that relate to your reason for attending. There are a few exceptions to this, where you will need to obtain a referral from your GP prior to attending our clinic. This includes:

• Workers Compensation Claims
• CTP (Third Party) Road Accident Claims
• Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Claims
• Medicare Claims (e.g. Chronic Disease Management referral)
