Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic Therapy and Hydrotherapy from a provider you can trust.

Our Aquatic Therapy services are offered at the ultra-modern facilities at King George V Glenorchy and the Launceston Aquatic Centre. Hydrotherapy, also known as Aquatic Physiotherapy, is a form of physiotherapy conducted in a heated pool. Aquatic Physiotherapy can help develop strength, balance, coordination and improve general fitness as well as relieve pain, promote relaxation, and mobilise joints.

  • The pools offer change rooms, pools hoists, and exercise equipment
  • All staff are trained in First Aid, Life Support and Hydrotherapy Pool Rescue
  • We welcome referrals from GPs, Physiotherapists, other Allied Health Professionals
  • Clients can utilise a range of funding for programs
  • Most clients will need at least 2 sessions with the Aquatic Physiotherapist
  • The Hydrotherapy Pools are heated between 30-35° Celsius which is optimal to achieve the many benefits that this therapeutic approach can offer, such as:
    • Gravity is countered by buoyancy.
    • Increased muscle strength and endurance due to the greater resistance in water.
    • Improvement in swelling, due to hydrostatic pressure.
    • Enhanced balance and stabilization.
    • Improved enjoyment and confidence to move better.
    • Muscular relaxation and decreased muscle spasm.
    • Decreased pain due to warmth and support.
