Therapeutic treatment for fitness, rehabilitation and to ease a range of ailments

NOTE: OUR HYDROPOOL IS CURRENTLY CLOSED, BUT WE HOPE TO RE-OPEN LATER THIS YEAR

Hydrotherapy treatment involves moving and exercising in water. The warm water relaxes tight muscle groups, eases stiff joints and is helpful for individuals with neurological conditions who cannot comfortably exercise on land.

At Lillington House, we have an on-site hydrotherapy pool for those residents whose conditions require it. Helen Ley residents also have the opportunity to use the hydrotherapy pool.

Hydrotherapy treatment programmes vary dependent on our residents’ conditions but generally utilise the properties of water such as increased buoyancy, resistance and turbulence to help each resident achieve their goals.

Why is hydrotherapy beneficial?

Hydrotherapy is very beneficial for a variety of ailments, it improves circulation, relaxation, digestion and the immune system. It is also beneficial for a variety of conditions including:

  • Anxiety
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Back pain
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Depression
  • Headaches
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle pain
  • Musculoskeletal disorders

Residents do not need to be able to swim to enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy.

Outpatient Hydrotherapy

We know the benefits hydrotherapy can have – from lower back pain, orthopaedic surgery recovery, acute stages of neurological conditions and to improve general fitness.

At Castel Froma Neuro Care, all new outpatient hydrotherapy clients have a one-to-one land based session with one of our physiotherapists to assess suitability for the pool, followed by a one-to-one water session. We then offer the choice to continue one to one sessions or to join a ‘medical swim’ session to continue exercises in the water independently.

Hydrotherapy costs

  • An initial 30-minute, land-based assessment: from £50
  • One-to-one sessions: from £50 each
  • Small group sessions: £20 per session
  • Independent sessions: £8 (or £48 for a block 8 sessions)

Most of our Castel Froma Neuro Care physiotherapists are CSP and HCPC registered and are trained in Aquatic Therapy under the ATACP.
