Conditions Treated

Arthritis & Pre and Post-op Joint Replacements

osteoarthritis
rheumatoid arthritis
spondylosis (arthritis of the spine)
hip, knee and shoulder replacements
ankle and foot surgeries
lumbar surgeries (spinal fusions)

Scientific evidence supports the effectiveness of aquatic physiotherapy in managaging arthritic and joint pain. Buoyancy, one of the magical properties of water, reduces pressure on joints and allows for easier movement with less pain.

This has been shown to improve exercise compliance and consistency.

The water is EXCELLENT for post-op joint replacement therapy to improve range of motions and muscle strength.

dementia and cognitive disorders
poor balance in elderly population
post-op compromised balance

Evidence shows that the most effective way to retrain balance in a safe environment without worrying about falling, is to do so in the water. We have some fun equipment including balance beams and wobble boards in the water to really challenge balance.

Balance & Falls Prevention

Multiple Sclerosis
Parkinson's Disease
stroke

My Approach - Strongly hands on and Client-Centred

One-on-one Care

I get into the water with each and every client for hands-on aquatic therapy. Each session is tailored to your individual goals (which are determined from your assessment).

I work closely with you both on land and in the water to guide, support and encourage you so we can effectively obtain the best rehabilitation outcomes.

Listening to You

I take the time to listen to your story and understand your pain.

You will be asked your expectations, concerns and beliefs, as this information is critical for client satisfaction and to meet client expectations.

We work at your pace in a graded manner. Whether in the water or clinic, we focus on safe, steady movements that build your confidence and ease your pain. This will set you up for success.

Gentle & Safe Progress

Evidence-Based Care

Your treatment is backed by the latest clinical research. I use proven techniques to ensure you receive the highest standard of physiotherapy care.
