Aquatic therapy

Our experienced Physiotherapy team offer a range of aquatic therapy programmes. These tailored to the needs of each student and work with land-based therapies.

Our fully equipped, heated indoor aquatic therapy pool is designed to maximise participation and therapeutic outcomes. Students can create a personalised ambiance with our advanced features, including: 

• Surround and underwater music system 
• Colourful lighting displays 
• Themed projections 
• Resistance jets 
• Giant water shower 

Benefits of our aquatic therapy programmes 

Meeting the complex multi-sensory needs of our students with bespoke environmental controls directly benefits their relaxation and muscle tone management. The Aquatic Therapy Association for Chartered Physiotherapists (ATACP) recognises the hypnotic effect of water on muscle tone relaxation, enhanced by appropriate lights and music. An optimised sensory environment also supports familiarisation with sessions, boosting the positive audiovisual associations with the sessions for those with additional processing and sensory needs.  

• Help students to feel free in the water and relax
• Maintain and improve movement
• Improve or maintain muscle strength
• Give students more control over their bodies, including their head
• Support safe stretches
• Help to reduce pain, rigid joints and the need for future surgery

Supporting the community 

National Star’s aquatic therapy programmes not only benefit current students but also benefit private clients. We offer evening aquatic therapy sessions for private clients with a wide range of orthopaedic, musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. We’re fully booked with private clients for the rest of 2024, but we will be opening further bookings in early 2025.
