Increase strength, promote circulation, relieve pain and enhance your overall wellbeing with hydrotherapy.
Hydrotherapy is a form of physical therapy that involves carrying out exercises and specific therapeutic techniques in warm water to alleviate pain, promote relaxation, strengthen muscles, improve circulation and enhance overall wellbeing. People living with multiple sclerosis or other neurological conditions can benefit greatly from water therapy as the unique properties of water can help you move around with greater ease and flexibility.
Our Plus Hydro program is led by physiotherapists and exercise physiologists who have expertise in hydrotherapy for neurological conditions. We are committed to providing a program that delivers comparable benefits to on-land exercise program, with the added advantage of warm water therapy.
