Hydrotherapy at KICK

KICK offers a variety of hydrotherapy programs in a pool heated to 32 degrees Celsius. We have a variety of programs to accommodate a wide range of physical and medical conditions. These programs are run by qualified physiotherapists. 

Benefits of exercise in water...

• Low-impact exercise, there is reduced pressure on joints due to increased buoyancy in water
• Ability to challenge balance, co-ordination and core stability safely
• Increasing muscle strength using resistance of water
• ​Reduced fear of falling
• Warm water reduces muscle spasm, pain and joint stiffness

Katherine Williamson

Physiotherapist

Katherine qualified as a physiotherapist in London and then moved back to Sydney. Whilst working in nursing homes, establishing a private practice and running both land and water exercise classes, her passion for working with our older population developed.

​“From my experience most of us continue to ‘feel’ young. Then one day you realise that your body is now struggling to achieve everything that you would like it to. At this point it becomes important to focus on our physical capability and establish a plan that enables us to continue doing what makes us happy. This is the reason I love running classes which are fun, sociable and physically rewarding.”

Katherine owns 50 Plus Fitness Therapy http://50plusfitnesstherapy.com.au/ for anyone interested in doing further work beyond the pool, specifically for the maturing body :-)

​The classes that Katherine conducts at KICK are suitable for all ages.
