Tidal Motion Physiotherapy & Allied Health

    Hydrotherapy in Coffs Harbour

    Water is a remarkable rehab environment. Buoyancy takes load off painful joints, hydrostatic pressure reduces swelling, and warmth relaxes tight muscles — all while you're doing meaningful strengthening and movement work.

    Tidal Motion designs hydrotherapy programs for Coffs Harbour clients with arthritis, post-surgical stiffness, chronic pain, neurological conditions and NDIS-funded strength and mobility goals. Programs run at local heated pool facilities, either supervised or as independent programs you can follow yourself.

    We provide a written, illustrated program you can take with you, and we can attend the pool with you for supervised sessions where clinically justified or funded.
