Hydrotherapy is an evidenced-based therapy that makes exercising easier for people with mobility or balance difficulties. Our physiotherapists offer hydrotherapy at multiple pools around Adelaide. The warmth of the water can also reduce pain and the load on the body whilst exercising whilst promoting relaxation and improving mental health. Sessions are tailored to the individual participant and may include strength or balance exercises, mobility practise, or improving general fitness and your ability to swim.

We offer balance training in the comfort of your own home. Improving your balance can greater your capacity to transfer and mobilise, ultimately allowing to more independence in the home and community.

We work with you to improve your balance whilst implementing strategies to ensure your home environment is safe and the risk of falls is reduced.
