Both use the pool to help you move, build strength and work towards your goals, but the focus can differ.
Physiotherapist-led hydrotherapy is generally suited to more acute needs, such as a new injury, muscle tear or rehabilitation after surgery. It may also be the appropriate option if you have funding that specifically covers physiotherapy.
Exercise Physiologist-led hydrotherapy is generally focused on ongoing health, mobility and chronic conditions, similar to the exercise support provided in our gym and clinic. It may also be the appropriate option if you have funding that specifically covers exercise physiology.
There is some overlap, and both Physiotherapists and EPs can support people with chronic conditions. Your initial assessment helps us understand your goals, check for any precautions and make sure hydrotherapy is safe and suitable for you.

Wondering whether to enjoy hydrotherapy before or after your massage? Ultimately, both options have their advantages, so it’s about finding what works best for you!
If you're looking to relax and loosen up your muscles before a massage, doing hydrotherapy first can be beneficial. The warm water helps soothe tension, making your muscles more receptive to the massage.
