Hydrotherapy and Rehabilitation Classes
Specialist rehabilitation classes to support recovery, strength and mobility following surgery, injury or long-term musculoskeletal conditions.
Helping you move with greater confidence and strength
Our classes in Broadstone support patients across Poole and Dorset with hydrotherapy and spinal rehabilitation focused on improving mobility, strength and everyday function.
A low-impact environment for joint rehabilitation
Our hydrotherapy classes are led by specialist physiotherapists in small groups of four to six people. Exercising in warm water provides a safe, low-impact environment that reduces pressure on painful joints while allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.
Hydrotherapy classes may be suitable for people with:
Targeted exercise for spinal conditions and back pain
Our spinal rehabilitation classes are led by experienced physiotherapists in small groups of four to six people. Like our hydrotherapy classes, sessions take place in the pool, using the natural support and resistance of warm water to reduce pressure on the spine and allow greater freedom of movement. Classes focus on improving strength, posture and function for people with back pain and spinal conditions.
Hydrotherapy classes may be suitable for people with:
Understanding hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy uses the natural support and resistance of water to improve strength, flexibility, balance and cardiovascular fitness. Many people find they can move more comfortably in water than on land, helping them return to everyday activities more quickly and with greater confidence.
Benefits of hydrotherapy classes
Hydrotherapy classes focus on improving joint mobility, building strength safely after surgery and reducing pain and stiffness. Exercising in warm water helps improve balance and stability, increases confidence in movement and supports long-term joint health. Classes are gentle and suitable for a wide range of abilities, making them accessible for people at all stages of recovery.
Benefits of spinal rehabilitation classes
Spinal rehabilitation classes use the support of warm water to reduce pressure on the spine, making it easier to move and exercise comfortably. Sessions focus on reducing back and leg pain, improving mobility and building the core and postural strength needed to support the spine. Patients are guided through exercises that improve balance and physical function, and leave with strategies they can continue independently at home.
