How Aquian will support you

Due to the nature and physical properties of water, all patients wanting to participate in aquatic therapy will undergo a pre-screening to assess their suitability. Thereafter our Aquatic therapy physios will work with you to development a treatment plan unique to you to ensure your optimal recovery. Our physios are vastly experienced aquatic therapists who have undergone extensive training in both the UK and in Europe.

What you can expect

Aquatic therapy essentially uses the properties of water to facilitate recovery, for example:

Buoyancy

Once in the water the body experiences buoyancy making you feel ‘light’. This takes a lot of the stress and strain out of your joints allowing exercises to be done more easily. It allows you to exercise and rehabilitate even if you are recovering from an injury or fracture.

Warmth

The water temperature is maintained at approximately 34°C. This warm temperature allows muscles to relax and helps pain to ease.

Hydrostatic pressure

The sheer volume of the water provides a pressure on your body, although you are not aware of this. The deeper the water the greater the hydrostatic pressure is on your body. This is very helpful if you have swollen joints.

Drag and turbulence

If you try to move quickly in the water, it is hard work! By increasing the speed of any exercise or adding a flat glove, flipper or other equipment, exercises can increase the strength of your muscles.
