FAQs
01. What is aquatic physiotherapy and how can it help me?
Aquatic physiotherapy involves the use of water to aid in the rehabilitation and treatment of various musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. The buoyancy of water reduces the impact on joints, making it ideal for people with arthritis, back pain, or those recovering from surgery or injury. It helps improve strength, flexibility, and mobility while reducing pain.
02. Do I need to know how to swim to participate in aquatic physiotherapy classes?
No, swimming ability is not required. Our aquatic physiotherapy classes are designed to accommodate all fitness levels, including individuals who are not confident swimmers. Our physiotherapists will guide you through exercises in the shallow end of the pool to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the session.
03. Are aquatic physiotherapy services covered by private health insurance?
Many private health insurers in Australia provide coverage for aquatic physiotherapy as part of their physiotherapy benefits. It’s best to check with your insurer to confirm coverage under your policy. You may also be eligible for a Medicare rebate if referred by a GP under certain conditions.
