Water’s buoyancy, resistance, and pressure create a low-impact, supportive environment that aids recovery and improves strength, flexibility, balance, and motor control—with less strain on joints and muscles.
It is ideal for people living with neurological conditions or injury, chronic pain, and mobility challenges. Whether you’re working to regain mobility or improve overall physical wellbeing, aquatic therapy can be an important part of your rehab journey.
We deliver aquatic therapy sessions in either a nearby ocean pool or a local heated pool, depending on your needs and therapy goals. This flexible approach allows us to select the most beneficial setting—whether that means using the natural properties of saltwater or the consistent warmth of a heated environment.

Aquatic therapy is more than just exercising in water; it’s a structured program led by trained professionals. Sessions focus on targeted movements designed to meet your personal goals, with activities tailored to your ability and condition. Therapists may include gait training, balance exercises, strength-building, and proprioceptive tasks to improve body awareness.
Our aquatic therapy services are delivered by clinicians with experience in neurological rehabilitation and are often integrated with other therapies to support your overall progress.
Rehabilitation focuses on:
The supportive nature of water reduces fall risk, making it easier and safer to practise balance tasks.
Resistance provided by the water helps build strength in weaker areas, even for those with limited mobility.
Warm water promotes muscle relaxation and joint flexibility, easing stiffness and encouraging movement.
The soothing environment helps reduce pain and muscle spasms, offering a comfortable way to exercise.
Practising walking in water provides support while reinforcing correct gait patterns and mobility skills.
Aquatic exercises can improve body awareness and coordination—especially beneficial after neurological injury.
Moving in water builds endurance and supports your overall physical recovery.
Water allows for gentle movement and support, helping to ease muscle tightness and encourage controlled motion.
