This Hydrotherapy Level 3 course is built around seven detailed modules that offer both foundational and applied knowledge. It starts with an introduction to hydrotherapy, covering its history, purpose, and benefits. Following that, the second module gives a focused review of anatomy and physiology to help learners understand how hydrotherapy interacts with body systems.

The third module introduces the different forms of hydrotherapy, such as hydro-massage, full immersion, and targeted water therapies. Learners are guided through the settings and techniques used in various environments, including clinical and home-based settings. Module four explains how hydrotherapy influences circulation, muscle tone, pain relief, and mental well-being. Learners will be able to identify the physiological and psychological effects of different therapies.

Module five looks at the common medical and physical conditions that respond well to hydrotherapy, such as arthritis, post-surgery recovery, and mobility challenges. The sixth module provides specific methods for treating shoulder injuries and lower limb concerns using water-based interventions. Finally, the course covers hydrotherapy for animals, helping learners understand how this therapy is adapted for dogs, horses, and other animals in rehabilitation.

By the end of this course, learners will be equipped with the theory and confidence to support both humans and animals through hydrotherapy programmes in various settings, including wellness centres, care homes, veterinary practices, and private clinics.
