Hydrotherapy Classes

We all know that exercise is good for us but did you also know that swimming/exercising in water also has an endless amount of health benefits?

LBhealthcare runs several weekly hydrotherapy class sessions each aimed at different levels of fitness and ability. Classes are enjoyable, can aid individuals with a number of medical conditions as the water helps to increase flexibility and decrease muscular and joint pain.

The warmth of the water relaxes the muscles, buoyancy assists or resists movement and the weightlessness decreases pain and stress on the joints.

Aquatic exercise in warm water also has the following benefits:

• It helps to reduce blood pressure and the risk of injury
• It reduces stress
• The water helps to support and massage the body as you exercise
• It strengthens breathing muscles
• It increases the efficiency of kidneys
• It provides you with all of the benefits of land exercise – without feeling the sweat!
