Hydrotherapy may a useful addition to your rehabilitation programme following injury or surgery. It increases strength, balance and flexibility – essential to regaining normal function – and is less likely to exacerbate any pain due to the fact that the water reduces the load through your joints. In the early days when you could be sore, the effect of the water supporting your limb means it is easier to move through a full range of movement, rather than struggling on land without any buoyancy assistance. As you progress through your recovery and the pain of your injury or surgery decreases, your hydrotherapist will increase the difficulty of the exercises and this can be at a quicker pace than if you were exercising in a gym.
