A serious injury can change your life in an instant. For Tess Henn, a fall onto a manhole cover left her with severe muscle dysfunction, chronic pain, and mobility struggles. Studies show that physical therapy can improve recovery by up to 70%, yet many people delay seeking professional help. Tess didn't have that option-her muscles stopped working properly, and she needed immediate intervention.
With the help of My Health Team, Tess started her rehabilitation journey with hydrotherapy, progressed to physiotherapy, and eventually built strength through gym training. The result? Significant pain reduction and restored function, proving that recovery is possible with the right support. If you're struggling with pain or mobility after an injury, Tess's story is proof that the right treatment can make all the difference.
How Hydrotherapy Jumpstarts Injury Recovery
Hydrotherapy is often the first step for those recovering from severe injuries. The buoyancy of water reduces strain on muscles and joints, allowing movement without excessive pain. For Tess, hydrotherapy provided the perfect environment to stimulate her muscles, regain control, and slowly rebuild strength.
Benefits of Hydrotherapy for Recovery:
-
Reduces joint and muscle strain
-
Increases circulation for faster healing
-
Improves flexibility and mobility
-
Provides a low-impact environment for safe rehabilitation
At My Health Team, we use hydrotherapy as a gentle but effective starting point for injury recovery. It allows patients like Tess to regain movement without excessive pain or risk of re-injury.
The Role of Physiotherapy in Restoring Mobility
Once Tess was strong enough to move beyond hydrotherapy, her rehabilitation continued with targeted physiotherapy. Physiotherapy is essential for addressing muscle imbalances, improving coordination, and rebuilding strength in a controlled environment.
How Physiotherapy Helped Tess:
-
Focused on stimulating inactive muscles
-
Introduced land-based exercises to transition from water therapy
-
Personalised treatment to manage pain levels
With each session, Tess noticed improvements-not just in her physical abilities, but also in her confidence. Physiotherapy isn't just about movement; it's about restoring independence.
Recovering from an injury is never easy, but you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're just starting out with hydrotherapy, transitioning into physiotherapy, or ready for strength training, My Health Team provides expert care at every stage.
