Our Aquatic physiotherapy program offers an individual assessment followed by a tailored exercise program, supervised and progressed by a very experienced Physiotherapist.
Programs are personalised to aid in your rehabilitation or target your exercise requirements. This leads to an outcome based on your goals to optimise your recovery. You do not need a referral from your doctor for our program, however we would like your doctor to be aware that you are starting with us to ensure that there are no contraindications to you exercising in water. If you wish we will keep your doctor informed of your progress throughout your rehabilitation journey. What is Aquatic Physiotherapy good for?

Katherine WilliamsonPhysiotherapistKatherine 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. |
