Three ways to use the water
Most people start with Ben, move to the pool on their own, and some end up with a pool at home.
One-on-one
Hydrotherapy with Ben
Your first session is in the water. Ben takes your history, gets you moving, and you leave with a personalised program. Then weekly or fortnightly, as your condition needs.
$96.50– $193 per session · 30, 45 or 60 min
Self-guided
Private pool hire
Already have a program and confident in the water? Book the small spa and treadmill for yourself. Your time, nobody else in it.
$40per hour · 10-session packs $300
For home
Swim spas with a treadmill
The same spas we use in the clinic, for your home. Try one here first, and Ben helps with setup and a program to use it.
From $39,000installed
What we treat
Hydrotherapy is for people who need to move but cannot tolerate it on land. Choose your condition to see how we work with it.
Not a public pool. A rehab pool.
A standalone unit with two private swim spas, built for one person at a time.
Nobody else in the building
One client at a time. No lanes, no lessons, no school groups, no waiting for a hoist.
Underwater treadmill
Walk or run with up to 80% of your weight carried by the water, at a speed set for you.
32°C, ozone-sanitised
Warm enough to relax stiff muscles, low chlorine, 1.2 m deep so you can always stand.
Hoist or steps
Seated hoist, ceiling hoist, or gradual steps with rails both sides. Private change rooms and showers.
How it works
Book online or call
No referral for private bookings. Funded clients send their referral or plan first; complex medical conditions need a GP letter.
First session, in the water
Bring swimwear and a towel. Ben takes your history, gets you in, and starts your first exercises the same day. Sixty minutes.
Keep going
Your program lives on the poolside iPad and is progressed every visit. Pay as you go, or save with a six-week package on your condition page.

Before you book
The questions people ask on the phone. More on our FAQ page.
Do I need to be able to swim?
No. The water is 1.2 metres deep, you can stand the whole time, and Ben is beside you. Flotation is there if you want it.
How soon can I get in?
Usually within the week. There is no waitlist — the online calendar shows every available time.
Do I need a referral?
Not for private bookings. NDIS, WorkCover, CTP, DVA, Home Care Package and Medicare clients send their referral or plan before the first session.
I can’t manage steps. How do I get in?
A seated hoist or a ceiling hoist. Tell us at booking and Ben will have it ready.
