Hydrotherapy

Griffith Rehabilitation Hospital offers a purpose built, non-chlorinated, heated hydrotherapy pool. The water temperature is set at a comfortable 34 degrees celsius. Access to the pool is via stairs or with a seated hoist if needed.

Hydrotherapy allows patients who have undergone surgery or medical illness to perform exercises in the non-chlorinated, heated water they would not be able to perform out of the water. The non-weight bearing, healing properties of the heated water can provide soothing relief.

The natural resistance provided by hydrotherapy enables patients to perform strength and flexibility exercises and helps regain or enhance physical wellbeing in a warm relaxing environment.
