Hydrotherapy FAQs

: Hydrotherapy uses the warmth, buoyancy, and resistance of water to reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery. At AquaPhysio in Lower Morden, Surrey, our purpose-built hydrotherapy pool allows patients to exercise in a safe, supportive environment that eases stress on joints and muscles.
: Hydrotherapy is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those recovering from orthopaedic surgery (hip, knee, shoulder replacements), fractures, sports injuries, arthritis, chronic pain, and mobility issues. Many of our Surrey and South West London patients also use hydrotherapy for wellness, fitness, and injury prevention.
: No referral is required. You can book directly with AquaPhysio. However, many consultants, surgeons, and physiotherapists across Surrey, Merton, and Wimbledon recommend us for post-surgery and rehabilitation care.
: Our hydrotherapy pool is maintained at a therapeutic temperature of around 34°C, which helps relax muscles, improve circulation, and create the ideal environment for safe rehabilitation and exercise.
: Patients can usually begin hydrotherapy earlier than land-based physiotherapy, often within 2–5 weeks after orthopaedic surgery or fracture (depending on your consultant’s advice). Starting early helps maintain mobility, reduce stiffness, and speed up recovery.
: We are based in Lower Morden, on the Surrey–London border (Merton borough), near Wimbledon, Sutton, and South West London. This makes us easily accessible to patients from both Surrey and Greater London.
: We recommend bringing swimwear, a towel, and poolside footwear. Changing facilities are available. Our team will guide you through your first session and ensure you feel confident and safe in the water.
: Many private health insurance providers cover hydrotherapy as part of physiotherapy treatment. We recommend checking with your insurer. Our team can provide invoices and supporting documents if needed.

Will Hydrotherapy Help with Chronic Low Back Pain?

Chronic low back pain can make even simple movements feel difficult, leaving many people caught in a cycle of pain, stiffness, and reduced confidence. Hydrotherapy offers a different approach, using the unique properties of warm water to make movement feel safer, more comfortable and often more achievable than on land.

When Should You Start Hydrotherapy After a Hip or Knee Replacement? (And Why Timing Matters More Than You Think)

Timing matters more than most people realise after a hip or knee replacement. Our data shows hip patients often start hydrotherapy earlier than knee patients - yet knees may benefit just as much, if not more, from early movement in the pool.
