About Hydrotherapy Studio
Our Story
Hydrotherapy Studio is a purpose-built specialist clinic in Tennyson, south Brisbane. It exists for one reason: to give people who want hydrotherapy the best available equipment and expertise in one place — not a public pool or a learn-to-swim centre offering hydrotherapy on the side.
Most hydrotherapy in Brisbane happens in shared public pools, where the water is usually cooler than advertised and the physiotherapist works around other swimmers. We built the opposite. Every session takes place in a private, individual pool held reliably at 32°C — the right temperature for hydrotherapy — with an underwater treadmill for graded walking and running in the water.
Getting in and out is straightforward for every mobility level: a seated hoist that lowers you into the water, a ceiling hoist, and gradual steps with bilateral handrails. There are no shared sessions — you work one-on-one with a physiotherapist, at your booked time. Founded by physiotherapist Ben Strachan, the clinic treats the complex cases that benefit most from aquatic rehabilitation.
Appointments are available now — Mon to Sat, no referral needed.
Meet Ben Strachan
Ben Strachan has spent his career in the water. He has practised aquatic physiotherapy since 2010 and has held AHPRA registration for 20 years (AHPRA: PHY0001166238).
Hydrotherapy is not a sideline for Ben — it is all he does. He does not take land-based appointments. That focus is deliberate: every client works with a physiotherapist who spends all day, every day, treating in water, and who knows how to get results from it for complex and painful conditions.
