Hydrotherapy Suite

The Hydrotherapy suite is within the Human Performance Laboratory but is a self-contained unit in its own suite of specially constructed wet and dry rooms. This facility contains a range of baths and showers to enable students to examine in detail the effects of hydrotherapy. Changes in blood flow and muscle function can be determined using the Laser Doppler and Cybex equipment.

 

                

 

The Hydrotherapy Suite is used for teaching and research purposes. A number of student dissertations have centred around the use of hydrotherapy and presentations at international conferences have been published along with papers in peer reviewed journals.
