Our Youth Hydrotherapy program is designed for children through to young adults looking to build their mobility, range of motion and strength through utilising an aquatic environment.

The nature of the water allows tight muscles to relax and decreases weight bearing compared to land-based exercises. Each participant focuses on their own unique individual goals such as standing, range of motion, strength and relaxation.

Note: This weekly program runs in line with NSW school term dates ONLY.
