Why Aqua Therapy Supports Recovery

Buoyancy in water lowers the effective load on joints and muscles, letting patients move and exercise earlier in recovery than would be comfortable or safe on land.

This makes hydrotherapy especially useful after orthopaedic surgery, for patients with significant deconditioning, or where pain limits land-based exercise tolerance.

Sessions in Wellknox's temperature-controlled hydrotherapy pool are supervised by trained therapists and built around each patient's specific rehabilitation goals.
