Hydrotherapy involves exercise and movement performed in a heated pool. Under the guidance of trained health professionals, tailored exercise programs are developed using the unique properties of water to help improve movement and function while reducing pain.

The warmth and buoyancy of the water can assist with mobility, strength, balance, and confidence in a low-impact environment.

Individual Aquatic Therapy

Comet Healthcare offers one-on-one aquatic sessions designed to support the rehabilitation or maintenance of:

• Neurological conditions

• Musculoskeletal injuries

• Cardiopulmonary function

Session duration will be determined by your physiotherapist following an initial assessment.

Therapist-Prescribed Water-Based Exercise Program

Clients may access the pool independently following:

• A thorough physiotherapy assessment

• Pool safety screening

Clients referred by an external physiotherapist (government or private) must meet the same screening requirements and provide an up-to-date water-based exercise program at the time of their appointment.

Independent hydrotherapy sessions are typically 20–30 minutes in duration.
