HOW CAN WATER THERAPY SUPPORT PAIN?
Water Wisdom Therapy gently integrates massage, joint mobilization, stretching, and shiatsu in warm water. It's especially popular for pain management due to its therapeutic effects on both the body and mind.
Common Conditions Helped by Water Wisdom Therapy:
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic lower back pain
- Sciatica
- Arthritis (OA and RA)
- Post-surgical pain (e.g., hip or knee replacement recovery)
- Neurological conditions (e.g., MS, stroke recovery)
- Endometriosis
Some of the benefits include:
Muscle Relaxation & Tension Relief
Warm water helps relax muscles more effectively and the gentle movements reduce muscular tension without added pressure. It is great for people with chronic muscle tightness, spasms, or fibromyalgia.
Reduced Pressure on Joints and Spine
Water buoyancy supports the body, reducing gravitational stress on joints and spine. It is ideal for those with arthritis, back pain, or post-injury recovery.
Improved Circulation
The hydrostatic pressure and rhythmic movements increase blood flow and enhance oxygenation and nutrient delivery to tissues, aiding healing.
Pain Gate Control
Like massage, Water Wisdom Therapy may stimulate the body’s natural pain-inhibiting pathways (the gate control theory of pain) while the gentle sensory input can help override pain signals to the brain.
Nervous System Regulation
Warm water and nurturing touch activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest). This calms the stress response and chronic pain.
Improved Range of Motion & Flexibility
Passive stretching in warm water is more effective and less painful. This can ease stiffness and enhance mobility, especially in people with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
Mental & Emotional Relief from Pain
Chronic pain often leads to anxiety, depression, and emotional fatigue. Water Wisdom Therapy’s meditative quality can induce deep relaxation, improving mental health and pain perception.
“The water's gifts are profound. A trusting space for compassion, surrender, emergence and transformation. Connect deeply with your felt experience in this moment. From that place so much is revealed.”

“What a blessing that my yoga teacher introduced me to Rebecca. My mother almost cancelled her overseas visit to Melbourne due to the intense pain in her lower back and legs. As an active 82 year old who regularly swam and played tennis, the pain had been debilitating. Just one session with Rebecca and she truly experienced calm and learnt how to breathe deeply. For the next few days, there was only a hint of pain remaining. She was standing up straighter and felt freedom when walking.”

“The session allowed me, in a safe and supported way, to face many of my core fears in life. I went beyond my lack of trust and need for control. It facilitated an experience in which I softened and completely let go.”

“A number of serious shoulder injuries over the last ten years have resulted in a shoulder so damaged and affected by arthritis I now require a shoulder replacement. The almost ‘other worldly’ experience of an aquatic therapy session has enabled me to move my shoulder and reduce my pain levels. In addition, I have found the other therapies I have been using to become more effective and results more profound.”

“Initially I was nervous at the prospect of floating for so long in a pool. My anxiety just fell away as Rebecca gently and lovingly supported me through the whole process, and I gradually lost my awareness of time and space and experienced a deep meditative state.”

“My first aquatic therapy session with Rebecca was the most relaxed and calm that I have ever found myself. From the very start I could feel my breathing slowing, each breath becoming deeper and smoother. Feeling so relaxed and comfortable in the warm water made me concentrate on nothing but breathing. The result was a total state of bliss.”
