Hydrotherapy (Water-Based Physiotherapy)

Hydrotherapy at Ukroots uses supervised water treatments. These sessions assist muscle relaxation and help improve blood flow within physiotherapy care.
Water-based treatments allow the body to move with less strain, making them especially helpful during pain management and rehabilitation.
Hydrotherapy is often recommended for individuals who experience stiffness, limited mobility, or sensitivity to land-based exercises, offering a soothing yet effective path to recovery.

Understanding Hydrotherapy in Physiotherapy

Hydrotherapy works by using water temperature, pressure, and buoyancy to influence muscle tone and blood flow. The natural resistance of water supports movement while reducing stress on joints, allowing muscles to work gently without overload.

At Ukroots, hydrotherapy is integrated into personalized physiotherapy programs to complement manual therapy, exercises, and other rehabilitation techniques.

How Hydrotherapy Sessions Are Conducted at Ukroots

Each hydrotherapy session begins with an assessment by our physiotherapist to understand your condition, comfort level, and recovery goals.

Based on this, specific water-based techniques are selected and applied in a controlled and supervised setting.

The focus remains on comfort, safety, and gradual functional improvement.
