Traditionally, hydrotherapy has been associated with older populations or viewed solely as a
rehabilitative treatment. However, Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) are challenging this

and encouraged as a preventative measure, a
wellness programme, an internal reset, and a
health and 昀椀tness enhancer.

WHAT IS
purest form! It is a water-based movement programme that
HYDROLATES™? emphasises core awareness, postural strengthening, mobility,
and breathing.
The Hydrolates™ system begins with wall-based exercises
(similar to wall Pilates) to create awareness and “centering,”
before progressing to suspended movement patterns.
The programme incorporates equipment such as balls, small
and full-length pool noodles, resistance gloves, and fabric
resistance bands to enhance resistance, ef昀椀ciency, and body
awareness in the water.
