Bring structure, clarity, and inspiration to hydrotherapy planning with the LDTC Hydrotherapy Progression Chart.
This visual resource maps a progressive pathway of hydrotherapy activities, from supported mobility and assisted movement through to independent mobility and more advanced control. It is designed to help practitioners recognise suitable next steps, build purposeful sessions, and communicate progression clearly.
The chart is organised around the three therapeutic Rs:
Release — supported mobility, buoyancy-assisted movement, and early stretching or mobilisation
Rebuild — developing strength, control, limb integration, and supported functional movement
Refine — advancing balance, floating, core control, coordination, and independent mobility
It includes illustrated activity ideas across spinal, upper-limb, and lower-limb movement, alongside a clear visual progression from practitioner-led support towards greater client independence.
Ideal for hydrotherapy pools, therapy teams, training settings, and practitioners who want a practical visual reference to support session planning and discussion.
Please note: This is a digital download; no physical item will be posted. It is an educational planning resource and should be used alongside professional judgement, individual assessment, appropriate risk management, and local policies.
