2. Hydrotherapy:

​​

Treating conditions such as musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, chronic pain, neurological conditions, and post-operative rehabilitation. Hydrotherapy provides a safe, low-impact environment where the buoyancy of the water reduces joint stress, allowing patients to move with greater ease. Our therapists tailor hydrotherapy programs to suit individual needs, helping to promote healing and improve overall physical function.​

​

Benefits of Hydrotherapy:

 

  • Reduced joint stress and pain relief: The buoyancy of water supports the body, reducing stress on joints and providing pain relief during exercises.

​

  • Improved strength and mobility: Resistance in water allows for safe muscle strengthening and enhanced flexibility, promoting better mobility.

​

  • Enhanced balance and coordination: Water provides a supportive environment to practice balance and coordination exercises with a lower risk of falls.

​

  • Increased cardiovascular fitness: Tailored hydrotherapy programs improve endurance and functional capacity, helping patients to safely increase their fitness levels.

​

  • Safe rehabilitation: Hydrotherapy is especially effective for post-surgery and injury recovery, allowing patients to exercise and rehabilitate without overloading the joints or muscles.​

3. Falls and balance treatment:

​

Falls are a significant concern among the elderly Australian population, with one in three older Australians experiencing a fall in the past 12 months, and of these, one in five requiring hospital admission. Falls can trigger fear, loss of confidence, and lead to social isolation and reduced activity levels. Beyond the psychological impact, falls often result in serious injuries such as:

​

  • Hip fractures and dislocations

  • Shoulder fractures and dislocations

  • Arm and wrist injuries

  • Ankle sprains and other soft tissue injuries

  • Head injuries

​

Benefits of Physiotherapy Falls Intervention/Prevention:

 

At JRP Physiotherapy, our therapists conduct comprehensive falls risk assessments to determine the causes, nature, and severity of falls. We implement strategies to ensure our patients feel safe and confident on their feet. Our services include:

​

  • Prescribing and sourcing falls prevention equipment such as walking aids and protective gear.

​

  • Developing programs and exercises to improve balance, strength, and proprioception.

​

  • Addressing functional abnormalities (e.g., gait anomalies).

​

  • Ensuring the individual's living environment is safe, functional, and hazard-free.

​

  • Restoring confidence and self-esteem through regular intervention and positive reinforcement.

​

  • Additionally, our allied health assistants are available to support you in completing your exercise programs, whether at the gym, outdoors, or in the comfort of your own home.
