Hydrotherapy Pottsville

Our hydrotherapy treatments are gentle, safe and can be completed individually, or in an aqua aerobics class at the Village Gym. For patients, a 40 min initial assessment (in rooms) will be completed by one of our Physiotherapists or Exercise Physiologists to ascertain your past injury history and as suitability for commencing hydrotherapy. We then create a tailored program and demonstrate/teach this with you in the pool on a follow up 30 min session.

Exercise Programs

Exercise programs within the warm pool environment place less stress on joints and enhance circulation through not only movement but an increased compression on the lower limbs submerged beneath the water. This is particularly useful when osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or symptoms of the acute stages of injury are present.

Our Pool

The Village Gym has a 15x8x1.3m deep pool that is accessible all-year-round with a comfortable 33 degC temperature. Hydrotherapy or Aquatic-based Physiotherapy includes both exercise programming but also hands-on therapy conducted in the water by a physiotherapist.

Pottsville Hydrotherapy & Aquatic-based Physiotherapy includes exercise programming & hands-on therapy conducted by a physiotherapist.

Pottsville Hydrotherapy can be used to treat:

Early stage post-operative hip and knee replacement
Severe low back pain or osteoarthritis of the lower limbs

Cardiovascular fitness to assist weight control, diabetes management and cardiopulmonary health
Rheumatoid arthritis
Joint and muscle flexibility including post-surgical, post-injury, muscle spasticity associated with cerebral palsy

Improving balance and mobility at all levels even when someone is currently unable to stand on land.

Taking The Weight Off

Taking weight off your joints allows greater freedom of movement with gentle heat and water pressure assisting circulation. Such a wonderful medium for exercise and a fantastic stepping stone to returning to land-based exercise programs for those rehabilitating with joint pain. Once programs are developed, patients are able to exercise independently at a time that suits you or in a supervised capacity by a physiotherapist depending on individual needs.

Physiotherapy as part of your health team

We have a range of physiotherapy services including massage, deep dry needling, hydrotherapy, pilates, gym based rehab programming, and exercise physiology. Being based at The Village Gym Pottsville, we have a warm hydrotherapy pool and full gymnasium at our disposal to progress patients as needed once they are ready to move on from home based exercises.

This means that your health and fitness goals need not stay within the confines of traditional physiotherapy. Your physiotherapist has the flexibility to get you the best outcome by utilising the benefits of other key techniques and work out the best option to suit you.

We value our working relationships with local G.P doctors, radiologists, podiatrists, sports medicine physicians and orthopaedic surgeons. As part of our treatment or as indicated, we consult with your doctor and assist with the referral process when assessment or diagnosis dictates further investigations or specialist intervention. This is part of our service and there is no cost to our patients to liaise on their behalf.
