Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a type of recreational therapy that uses water-based exercises to help improve a person’s physical functionality and wellbeing.
Commonly used as a method of rehabilitating the body after trauma,
In a heated pool, water provides a soothing, buoyant environment for cerebral palsy patients, decreasing a patient’s effective weight by 90 percent.
Chanell Range gained her Advanced International Aquatic Therapy Techniques - Accreditation from Peggy Schoedinger in 2019.
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
Orthopedic rehabilitation is a therapeutic approach to recovery, the purpose of which is to correct musculoskeletal limitations and alleviate pain from trauma, illness, or surgery.
Most common orthopedic conditions we treat are:
- Knee pain (ACL and menisci)
- Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff
- Ankle sprains and instability
- Lower back pain and sciatica
- Hip replacement
- Wrist pain (Carpal Tunnel syndrome)
Chronic Conditions
Rehabilitation of chronic conditions helps to minimise or slow down the disabling effects of chronic health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes by equipping people with self-management strategies and the assistive products they require, or by addressing pain or other complications.
Most common chronic conditions we can assist with:
- High blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels
- Osteoporosis
- Arthritis
- Cardiovascular disease
- Cancer
Special Population Rehabilitation
Special populations refer to people living with a disability that limits participation in everyday activity.
Research shows that special populations that are actively participating in physical activity are more functional and falls less often with the added benefit of improved cognitive abilities.
This population includes:
- Stroke and brain injuries
- Pregnant women
- Children and adults with Cerebral palsy, autism and down syndrome
Vitality Fitness Assessments
The Vitality Fitness Assessment is made up of two parts – the first part measures your cardio-vascular fitness and the second measures your strength and flexibility.
This test will give you a better understanding about your overall fitness. After the fitness test is performed your biokineticist will show you what you need to focus on in order to get fitter and stronger.
You can earn 2 500 Vitality points and up to an additional 5 000 Vitality points depending on your fitness level.
Back Evaluation
Are you struggling with back strain?
How you hold your body while sitting, sleeping, and performing repetitive movements such as gardening, housework and golf can all put strain on the back, leading to back pain.
Approximately 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. The most common cause of back pain is poor posture and weak supporting muscles such as your core. (Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach.)
Body Composition
The most common body assessments are anthropometric and include weight, stature, abdominal circumference, and skinfold measurements. We combine BMI, circumference and skinfold measurements to give you an overall view of your body composition.
Baby / Toddler & Swim School
The main focus of the swim school is safety. From the SAI curriculum it will teach children to be safe in the water first above all else. Our lessons are fun and we play majority games as children learn the best when they are having fun.

Pressure Air Biofeedback
This is a measuring tool that assists Biokineticists with measuring muscle performance in terms of maximum strength, average strength, relative strength, total work strength, pressure deficits when balancing or doing functional exercises, slump and neutral spine posture alignment, etc
This helps us distinguish muscle strength imbalances between sides and strength ratios between muscle groups
Measures the strength and performance of multiple muscles of the body, e.g. leg, hip, chest, shoulder, neck, arm, hand, finger, posture, etc.
Exercise Prescription
Exercise prescription commonly refers to the specific plan of fitness-related activities that are designed for a specified purpose.
Exercise prescription includes:
Type of exercise or activity (eg, walking, swimming, cycling) Specific workloads (eg, watts, walking speed) Duration and frequency of the activity or exercise session.
Momentum Multiply
The new fitness assessment (FA) is more individualized than ever. It incorporates your height, weight and physical activity level, which gives you an accurate and sensitive fitness score. All tests have been included based on their known relation to your health.
The improved FA test consists of the following:
- Body composition - body fat % estimation
- Muscle strength - handgrip and 1-minute push-up
- Fitness tests - Ideally we do a S Step test.
If you are pregnant or have an injury, you can do the 6-minute walking test or the arm ergometer test. Your health professional will choose the best-suited test for you. The preferred test is the step.
