Our Neuro Physios are able to provide hydrotherapy for those with neurological conditions at private hire pools in Herts and Essex.

Hydrotherapy is a form of rehabilitation which involves completing physiotherapy exercises in water. Our neurological physiotherapists use the buoyancy and resistance of the water to support or resist movement, either making the activity more challenging, or easier to complete, than on land.

Hydrotherapy as part of your NeuroPhysio rehabilitation

At NeuroPhysio we have specialist Neurological Physiotherapists with specific training in hydrotherapy which enables them to develop neuro rehabilitation programmes to meet your individual needs. Your neuro hydrotherapy treatment programme will be on a one to one basis and tailor made with your specific ‘land-based’ goals in mind and progressed to include swimming as required.
