Hydrotherapy Unit

You may have a course of hydrotherapy at the request of your doctor or physiotherapist.

How do I get there?

Follow the signs to South Wing Entrance 2. Once inside go straight ahead, past the lift to the end of the corridor and turn left to the hydrotherapy pool.

What will I need?

Please bring a swimming costume, a towel, soap or shower gel and a swimming cap if you have long hair. Please avoid bringing valuables as lockers are not provided.

Can I bring someone with me?

You are welcome to bring a friend, relative or carer with you, especially if you need help with dressing or undressing. For safety reasons they will be required to wait in the reception area, not at the poolside, during your treatment.

Reasons for not attending

Should you have any of the following please inform us by ringing 01305 255429 as soon as possible:

• An area of broken skin;
• A temperature;
• A heavy cold;
• An infection;
• A skin rash.

How long will it take?

You will need to allow about one hour to include showering, a drink and a rest after treatment.

Skin care

You will be required to shower before and after hydrotherapy. Please use a shower gel or soap. Please avoid use of creams/body lotions before treatment. After treatment we suggest that you apply a moisturising body lotion. Please do not bring talcum powder as it makes the floor slippery and is dangerous for others.
