What is hydrotherapy? This is physiotherapy in warm water, used mainly for rehabilitation and pain relief, providing many physical benefits. Usually an assessment is carried out in the treatment room first. We offer individual treatments as well as group sessions for problems such as arthritis, back conditions and Parkinsons Disease. Hydrotherapy is carried out in a 20m pool at a temperature of 32-36°C, accessible via steps or a hoist, within Pulse 8 Health Club. |
Rehabilitation Pilates Pilates is an approach aimed at improving postural awareness, healthy movement patterns and core stability. We offer courses in Pilates, aimed at those who are recovering from injury/pain, surgery or postural related problems. The small classes are run by experienced physiotherapists who can teach, closely supervise and progress exercises safely and appropriately. Patients will be assessed prior to starting the classes so that the therapist can tailor her sessions accordingly. |
Where do treatments take place? We have a well equipped
treatment room within Pulse 8 as well as use of the large hydrotherapy
spa pool, gym, dance studios and mat areas. For information on Pulse 8 / Nirvana Spa visit: |
