We have only just noticed our phone down this morning. If we missed you, please let give us a call again, or leave us a message and we will call you back.
As most of the others, Yvonne was having treatment with our physio for her musculoskeletal injury. During a conversation, Yvonne told Kevin that she was suffering with dizziness. As she was given with some medication, therefore we just ‘wait and see’ to observe whether it would settle.
Over a couple of weeks, Yvonne was a bit better. Without much spinning, but still felt woozy or light-headed.
Therefore, Kevin examined her and found positive signs of BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo).
If you have vertigo with the following:
– brief episodes of dizziness or vertigo
– ‎associated with moving the head
– ‎often when rolling in bed or getting up in the morning. Ask your GP or Physio to see if we can help!Â

Hydrotherapy differs from swimming because it involves specific exercises that you perform in a heated pool. It is a versatile rehabilitation tool as the buoyancy of the water can help to move stiff and painful joints whilst being soothed by the warmth of the water. Water can also provide resistance against body movement, which helps to strengthen weak muscles in a very safe environment. It can also help developing balance and coordination, and promotes general fitness.Some people might react to or irritated by the pool chemicals.Symptoms such as: itchy, red skin or hives (itchy bumps).
To prevent or reduce these irritation from swimming pool:
1. Take a shower or bath as soon as you get out of the pool, to rinse off the chemicals
2. The shower/ bath temperature has to be warm, that is not too hot or cold
3. Use moisturizing soap
4. Apply an oil-based moisturizer to keep the moisture into your skin
5. Some of our patients also found having a steam sauna after the pool can help, which maybe because the sweat can help to rinse off the chemicals from the pores.
Our hydro session is Monday and Thursday 1:00 pm at Riverton Leisureplex.
ENJOY!
