Hydrotherapy Helps me feel like me again!

Katherine's story

Katherine from Weymouth was looking for something to kick start her fitness regime, but as she experienced some ongoing joint pain she was anxious about joining a gym. Here’s her story…..

What were your reasons for starting hydrotherapy?
“I started hydrotherapy as a gentle push-start to fitness. I have never been very active and as a result have gained lots of weight over the years. I had knee pain, back pain and calf pain. I knew I wouldn't walk into a gym as I find them very daunting but had always loved swimming. I also wanted something to boost my mental health so hydrotherapy seemed like a perfect solution! My children have their swimming lessons at a hydrotherapy pool so I thought I would give it a go”

What changes and improvements have you seen?
“Wow, so much changed for me! First things first my mood lifted dramatically. The hydrotherapy sessions are so much fun! My joint pains were easing and, to top it off, I was losing weight. I look forward to every single session and never thought I would ever hear myself say I couldn't wait for my next exercise session!”

Our experts say:
Hydrotherapy can help with joint pain for a number of reasons. 
Firstly, the water provides hydrostatic pressure which reduces the stress on your body. This can lessen the pressure on your joint and help to relieve the pain. 
The water will support you whilst you exercise, allowing you to strengthen your muscles around the injury to support your joints which can in turn, help to reduce long term pain. 
The warm water also increases your circulation which can also help to reduce pain
Hydrotherapy exercise classes can improve your fitness and help with weight loss too!
