A hydrotherapy pool is different from a standard pool as it provides invaluable help for our customers who have joint and muscle problems as well as other medical problems.

Exercise in the hydrotherapy pool’s warm water (over 90ºF) loosens and soothe joints and helps to stretch aching muscles. Groups that use the Hydrotherapy Pool are: GP Referrals, Disability groups, CHD patients etc but you there are also casual sessions in the pool to simply unwind.

The pools have pool hoists and disability access to make entering the pool more comfortable.

Remember to drink fluids before any pool exercise as although you are in water, pool exercises can still leave you dehydrated.

Local GPs in the borough are advocates of the hydrotherapy pool and you can contact them about being put on their GP Referral Scheme.
