Weight Loss
 Wellness

HYDRO PHYSIO aquatic therapy provides the ideal way to exercise for weight loss, without impacting on joints and ligaments.

Buoyancy enables the user to feel on average 60% lighter. Muscles, especially around the bum, tum and legs become more toned and the therapy can aid cellulite reduction.

Typically 30 mins of brisk walking on dry land burns an average of 170 calories. 30 mins of brisk walking at waist height in temperature controlled water can burn an average of 490 calories.

Back To Your Best

Injuries can prevent athletes from training for weeks and months. The benefits of hydrotherapy are beginning to be recognised by physiotherapists. Exercise in water is ultimately more effective than traditional forms of physio. Buoyancy relieves weight bearing on lower limbs and in turn helps to reduce pain. This environment allows athletes the confidence to extend their range of movement and recover in the optimum time.

HYDRO PHYSIO aquatic therapy treadmills provide the ultimate way to train. Resistance training in water promotes high intensity exercise without putting stress on joints.

As water lacks the gravitational pull of land, staying upright requires using opposing muscles for every action. Core muscles are automatically activated, making lower abs and obliques work much more intensely.

Pregnancy Care

Pregnancy Care

Relax muscles and take weight off joints during pregnancy, whilst being able to continue to exercise and crucially strengthen core muscles in preparation for labour.

HYDRO PHYSIO aquatic therapy treadmills and Wellness pools are a natural way for women suffering with symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) to relieve debilitating back pain and walking difficulties.

For post pregnancy weightloss and strengthening core muscles, a few sessions in the treadmill will get you back in shape.

Essential
 Maintenance

As time goes by, maintaining a supple body is important for a positive quality of life. HYDRO PHYSIO can help you be fitter and make a difference with ongoing health and wellbeing. Hydrotherapy programmes are a great way to build core muscles whilst being gentle on joints. Maintaining core muscle helps to improve balance and posture and can ease back and lower limb pain.

Weight Loss

Obesity

Adult Obesity

> 30% Of The World’s Adults Are Obese Or Overweight

The weight of a nation puts pressure on healthcare throughout the world. The links between weight and health have long since been established. The fact is, globally we are getting fatter.

As weight increases, patients find exercise harder. The strain of land based exercise on joints, ligaments and organs can cause additional health issues and problems.

HYDRO PHYSIO offer a solution to these problems with a calorific burn almost three times higher than the same land based exercise.


Childhood Obesity

95% of U17’s with Type 2 Diabetes are Overweight and 83% are Obese

The childhood obesity crisis continues to be problematic for the medical profession. Potential health related consequences of childhood obesity range from type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular (CVD) risks, musculosketal problems to mental health disorders. Aquatic therapy has an important role to play in the weight loss of obese children. Many obese children find land based exercise difficult, buoyancy aids ease of mobility and the resistance in the water gives a more rigorous workout in a shorter amount of time.

Water Resistance for
Core Muscle Strength

Strengthening and conditioning of the body for overall performance can be greatly enhanced by training in a HYDRO PHYSIO aquatic therapy treadmill. Aquatic training provides both low impacting and challenging workout.

Push Beyond the Limits of Land Based Workouts...

Water resistance and surface tension promote high intensity exercise. Treadmill incline features and additional resistance jets provide the option to further challenge the user. The treadmills programmes can push training sessions further, with less risk of injury.

Sports Rehabilitation

Accelerate Healing

Traditional rehabilitation after a sports injury can be slow. Form is lost while waiting to recover sufficiently in order to train again. With a hydrotherapy rehabilitation programme the body can begin to heal faster with less impacting strain on joints and ligaments. Pain management is effectively dealt with as warm water and buoyancy provides an ideal environment to work affected areas.

This type of therapy helps injuries such as:

Achilles tendon conditions

Sprains

Fractured bones

ACL tears and repairs

The natural properties of water help athletes speed up recovery, minimising the loss of range of movement, whilst increasing circulation and decreasing inflammation (oedema).

Preganacy and Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy has help many women with SPD symptoms during pregnancy. Gentle walking with the resistance of water in the treadmill works by loosening the body, yet strengthening the core. This stronger core is essential for improving pain and preventing the condition from worsening.

Hydrotherapy and Postpartum Rectus Abdominis Muscles

In some cases the separation of the muscles remains significant, a condition called diastasis recti. This can lead to back pain, a weakened core and a very hard to shift postpartum tummy. It is important not to put additional pressure on these weakened muscles, for example planks or stomach crunches will be counter productive. Aquatic therapy is a gentle way of strengthening the body's core and helps to realign the muscles.

Hydrotherapy can be effective tightening up the post pregnancy figure and weight loss.

Senior Living

Quality Of Life

As we age the body loses muscle mass and strength. Keeping the core strong and posture aligned can greatly reduce the effects of an aging body.

Land based exercise can be challenging if a person has a pre-existing condition such as arthritis. Hydrotherapy in temperature controlled water is the perfect way to cushion joints, making exercising more comfortable.

Studies show that exercising in water can promote the following:

Increased range of movement and flexibility

Lower blood pressure

An improved respiratory system

Reduction in stress levels

A greater feeling of wellbeing
