Injury Rehabilitation and Sports Training in water
What the Athletes say
Georgie Hermitage
Rio Olympics double Gold medallist, double World Record holder, Paralympian, MBE
Before the Rio Olympics, I suffered with a foot injury which kept me out of the Anniversary Games. I met with Tony, the man behind AquaTone, and reset the goals for the season and concentrated on preparations for Rio. The AquaTone system allowed me to follow my Coach’s training programme by running and sprinting in the water with low impact. When I returned to the track I had found that sprinting and speed endurance…

AquaTone has been a lifesaver for me. I was introduced to this unique system of pool training by my athletics coach. I sustained a 4 point knee injury after a horrendous skiing accident last year. Two operations later I was in the pool supervised by the inspiring Tony Mitchell. I have not looked back since. After each session my knee felt more free and I had more movement than land based rehabilitation. Tony is very experienced…
Suzie Monk
Loughborough Steeplechaser
Having recently had a shin injury, I was unable to run or bike and needed an alternative way of keeping fit. The AquaTone allowed me to adapt my normal running sessions to use in the pool. I am a middle distance athlete at Loughborough and I found the AquaTone is much more effective than just Aqua jogging- something that all my other friends were keen to try. The AquaTone really helped me to get back quicker after my injury and I…

British, European and World Champion 60m, 100m and 200m
Using AquaTone, under Tony’s guidance kept me in great shape when I damaged my calf muscle just four weeks before the National Championships. I was able to hit the track running again after my rehabilitation and managed to win double gold in the Championships. I believe AquaTone made all the difference in keeping up my speed endurance levels at such a critical time. Having thought that I would not…

English Schools Finalist
AquaTone has allowed me to get back to non weight bearing training just weeks after my foot surgery. I have been able to complete land based training sessions in the water much earlier than I could have hoped. It has bridged a gap and meant that my loss in fitness has been reduced and my mobility has been maintained. Psychologically no athlete wants to be ‘off…
What the team and sports players say
Stephen Isaac
Surrey Senior Cricketer
I have always been an avid cricket lover and player Unfortunately I was unable to carry on playing the sport at the age of 27 after having knee surgeries when a partial knee replacement became my only hope of becoming pain-free again. The operation was in 2007 but I was unable to run again until I met Tony and in a local pool. Thanks to AquaTone I’m 52 and faster than I have been since I stopped playing all those years ago…
Tim Christopher
Golfer and former Esher 1st team Rugby Player
Following a whole knee replacement, Tony’s skill and experience with Aquatone in my rehabilitation got me back on the golf course with my knee in a lot better shape than otherwise and months earlier than anticipated. Aquatone is an enjoyable, low impact way of getting the new joint and scar tissue moving. Many thanks.
Julian Monk
Footballer and tennis player
My experience of AquaTone and working with Tony Mitchell has been nothing but extremely positive. I went to see Tony following the onset of an illness in order to help rehabilitation and return to competitive sport and life. Tony was not only understanding and empathic but has great insight in planning structured sessions that were designed as building blocks to improve strength, speed, endurance, balance and confidence…
What the medical professionals say
Stuart Evans – FRCS, FRCS(Orth)
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
I have been impressed by the consideration that has been given to the physics and biomechanics of AquaTone. The treatment is an innovative combination of a unique form of hydrotherapy and a highly motivated trainer. Having witnessed the system I feel that it has a particular role for the top end athlete or sportsman who seeks rapid rehabilitation in a controlled environment. Treatment is tailored to the individual needs of…

Physiotherapist
Aqua Tone is the best way to rehab after a injury. 4 weeks post my fracture it was amazing first hand to see the effects of hydrotherapy on the injury(pain relief,reduced swelling, improved joint range and flexibility) and mentally. I am a physio and personally experiencing this rehab, I highly recommend this type of hydrotherapy for every patient I see from now on.
