Hydrotherapy
Well documented for the treatment of joint and muscular problems since ancient Greek and Roman times.
Hydrotherapy or aqua therapy is used today to help a variety of conditions from arthritis to stroke and paralysis.
Many sportsmen and women are aware of the benefits of hydrotherapy, whether used for rehabilitation following injury or surgery or to enhance their fitness and training.
Water offers support to joints and muscles, thus reducing impact and strain.
Water also offers a degree of resistance allowing for strengthening of injured muscles. This resistance however, is limited and in order to increase resistance, specially designed weighted belts and equipment are used.
Hydrotherapy is regularly employed in the very early stages of rehabilitation and this can cause problems with bandages, wound dressings, casts and PICC lines.
Waterproof cast protectors are available in a range of sizes to suit upper and lower limbs, allowing complete confidence in the water.

Surgical tape is often white because it contains zinc oxide, which is added to help prevent infections. It is also commonly used as a grip in sports such as tennis, hockey, and football because of its rough texture and the fact that it leaves very little residue when removed or replaced.
