Hydrotherapy is the external use of water in the treatment of disease and injury.  It is derived from a Greek word meaning water healing.  Its therapeutic qualities were discovered over five thousand years ago.

Water rehabilitation exercise promotes working muscle tissues, which affect heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and oxygen consumption.  During the swim there is no impact or stress on bones or joints.

Whilst swimming endorphins are stimulated which help to control pain and relieve tension.  Heat is transferred into the body relaxing tense muscles, alleviating convulsions, muscle spasms and joint pain.

The heart works harder providing working muscles with oxygen, consequently improving cardiac muscle strength.  Peripheral circulation is increased taking oxygen and nourishment to cells and tissues in the body's extremities.

An improved blood circulation benefits the body's lymphatic system.  Hydrostatic pressure aids fluid reduction and swelling.  Swim exercise increases lung volume and improves inspiratory muscle conditioning.

The constant massaging action of underwater swirls moving over the body promotes healing.  A stream or jet of water directed at a specific area stimulates blood and oxygen circulation.

Swimming is a gentle way to strengthen weak muscles, restore joint motion following injury, aid muscle function following accident damage, and as a treatment for deformity and pain in arthritis and related ailments.
