Hydrotherapy (Water Aids) – Buyer’s Guide

Hydrotherapy – exercise in a pool – is often recommended by physiotherapists as an effective method of rehabilitation following a wide range of injuries and medical conditions. The buoyancy provided by the water allows strengthening exercises to be undertaken, without any impact affecting the knee joints or injured tendons and ligaments. It also allows you to return to activity when you have an injury that prevents exercise that involves load-bearing or impact. Wearing a buoyancy belt ensures that no weight is transmitted through the body, making hydrotherapy the ideal form of exercise for the rehabilitation of leg fractures, ankle breaks, knee injuries and back conditions.
