Our hydrotherapy pool is perfect for the luxury spa experience with powerful jets to help massage away aches, pains and relieves stress. Then relax in our thermal suite, which includes an aromatherapy steam room and sauna.

BENEFITS OF THE SPA POOL

The water temperature is normally maintained to a comfortable temperature, this has a sedentary effect on the nerve endings and promotes a feeling of relaxation. The warmth and feeling of weightlessness helps to relive tension or discomfort in the joints. The jets have the effect of an under water massage, which stimulates the blood supply, therefore resulting in the usual beneficial effects caused by an improvement in blood supply to the tissues.

Mobility can be improved with hydrotherapy because people are able to perform activities in the pool that they are unable to perform on dry land. Exercises against the resistance of water and dynamic exercises within the water can also improve muscle strength, balance and          co-ordination.

Hydrotherapy can be used to speed up the recovery of patients that are unable to weight-bear or can only partially weight-bear following surgery or injury, by increasing range of movement and maintaining muscle strength.

In addition to the above, hydrotherapy can:

• increase mobility
• reduce pain and muscle spasm
• improve and maintain joint range of movement
• strengthen weak muscle groups
• increase physical fitness and functional tolerances
• re-educate normal movement patterns
• improve balance
• improve co-ordination
• improve posture
• improve self confidence
• stimulate circulation
