Hydrotherapy
MoveMed runs warm-water hydrotherapy at its clinic in Templestowe Lower, Melbourne. Hydrotherapy uses the warmth and support of water to ease symptoms — a gentle way to reduce pain, stiffness and swelling, and move more freely with reduced load.
Hydrotherapy at MoveMed helps with osteoarthritis and joint pain, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery — using the warmth and buoyancy of water to lower load while you move.
