A complete guide to hydrotherapy exercises you can do in a pool, hot tub, or bathtub. Includes warm-up routines, joint-mobility drills, resistance movements, and cool-down stretches backed by clinical evidence.
ACL tears and meniscus injuries are among the most common — and most feared — knee injuries, affecting athletes, weekend warriors, and active adults alike. Whether you’ve had surgical reconstruction or are managing your injury conservatively, the rehabilitation journey is long (typically 6-12 months for ACL reconstruction) and often frustrating.

Each year, one in three older adults experiences a fall, and the consequences — hip fractures, head injuries, loss of independence — can be devastating. Yet the fear of falling itself creates a vicious cycle: older adults become less active, lose…
Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TMD) cause jaw pain, clicking, headaches, earaches, and difficulty chewing — affecting up to 12% of the population at any given time. While TMJ is not a condition most people associate with hydrotherapy, warm water therapy addresses the core drivers of TMJ pain: muscle tension, stress-related clenching, poor posture, and systemic inflammation….
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is one of the most frustrating musculoskeletal conditions — a progressive stiffening of the shoulder joint that can take 12-36 months to resolve naturally. The hallmark symptom is severe restriction of movement in all directions, making everyday tasks like reaching overhead, fastening a bra, or putting on a coat agonisingly difficult….
Diabetes management relies on three pillars: medication, diet, and exercise.
