12-Week Hydro Block Period: Tues 7th April – Fri 26th June 2026

Class Description:

Gentle Movers is a low-intensity, slower-paced hydrotherapy program designed to support mobility, coordination, and balance. This class is ideal for individuals seeking gentle exercise to improve range of motion and confidence in everyday functional movement, all within the supportive environment of warm water. Sessions are led by a qualified instructor and are tailored to ensure accessibility and inclusivity for people of varying abilities. 

Research shows that hydrotherapy provides significant benefits for people with musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, and reduced mobility. The buoyancy of the water reduces stress on the joints, allowing participants to move more freely and comfortably. Gentle aquatic exercise has been shown to improve flexibility, stability, balance, and circulation, while also reducing stiffness and promoting relaxation. 

The class format includes a guided warm-up, several blocks of gentle, controlled movements at a comfortable pace, and a cool-down to finish. This structured approach supports gradual improvements in physical function in a friendly group environment.
