Aquatic Therapy Services

Land Based initial appointment 60 minutes

This is an essential part of getting to know you and how we can best support you with your condition. We will

· discuss and assess your condition

· establish your goals and rehabilitation priorities

· ask for any medical background details relevant to exercising in water

· risk assess you in relation to the pools that we have available to us

Initial consultation venues

We host our initial consultations at either:

· The Mummy Hub, Camden Road, Tunbridge Wells

· Audley Willicombe Park, Sandhurst Road, Tunbridge Wells

Aquatic Therapy Treatment 1:1 45 mins

Throughout each session we will work with you, tailoring treatment techniques according to your abilities and individual rehabilitation goals. We will respond to how your body is moving in the water and adapt each session accordingly, so you get the most from your time in the water.

Each session lasts 45 minutes.

Please ensure you wear appropriate swimwear and bring a water bottle with you (not glass).

Group Class 45 minutes

Group exercise sessions

We run group Aquatic Therapy sessions for up to 10 people (venue dependent).

These are aimed at clients who do not require 1:1 input. If you are confident exercising in shallow water, this is an affordable way to access the benefits of Aquatic Therapy.

You may have already been a 1:1 client, wishing to continue exercising under supervision, or perhaps based on your initial appointment the group setting might be a suitable option.

Group options

· Ai Chi (a fusion of Tai Chi and Qigong) – ideal for posture, balance, breath control and relaxation. It is a sequence of slow, flowing movements, becoming more complex as the sequence progresses

· Spinal rehabilitation – for those with mechanical, post-operative and Axial Spondylosis type spinal conditions

· Lower limb exercise – for those with arthritic conditions, or pre-/ post-joint replacement

· Re-Active: Return to Activity. This is for those wanting to become more active, but who are not sure where or how to begin, and those recovering form injury or illness

· Ante-natal – low level exercise for pregnant women and those with pelvic girdle pain

Each session lasts 45 minutes.

Please ensure you wear appropriate swimwear and bring a water bottle with you (not glass).

Group options can be booked in blocks of 6 sessions.
