KICK Hydrotherapy / Aquafitness FAQs

1) Can I claim a rebate from my private health fund

No, unfortunately from May 2024, classes will no longer be conducted by a physio, but by a certified aqua fitness instructor, so classes will no longer be claimable on health funds.  We apologise for this change, but our physio provider has decided to no longer run classes due to changes in awards that make it cost prohibitive to everyone.  KICK is still able to source physios and exercise physiologists for 1:1 hydrotherapy sessions if needed though.​

2) IS an assessment NEEDED before starting the classes?​

An assessment prior to the aqua class is not essential.
However, if you have had any recent injury or surgery we would highly recommend making an initial assessment. This will enable us to take a thorough history and assessment, and ensure you receive the most suitable and best care. Depending on your circumstance this will either be conducted in the water or on land. Please email [email protected] or call (02) 9362 1496 to make your appointment.

3) WHEn should i not attend my class?

• If you have had any gastro symptoms in the last 72 hours
• Urinary or faecal incontinence
• Open wound
• Wound or skin infections
• Chest infection
• unwell

4) IS THERE A MEMBERSHIP FEE OR DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A SET NUMBER OF CLASSES IN A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD?

No to both. You only pay for classes when you attend, however we do offer packages for multiple classes to save you a little bit of money and encourage you to stay fit!

​5) is the pool warm?​

​The pool is an indoor pool, and kept at a warm average of 32 degrees. Warm showers are also available for your use after the class.

6) DO I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SWIM?

No, it is not necessary.  The KICK hydrotherapy pool is shallow (1.2M deep).  If you do not know how to swim and have concerns, please just make the physiotherapist aware of it, so the instructor can make you feel as comfortable and safe as possible at all times.

7) IS THERE PARKING NEARBY?

Street parking is possible on Mona Road & Darling Point Road.  
​Eastpoint Centre car park allows 1.5 hours free & is approx 500m walk from pool
