Hydrotherapy highlighted in House of Lords questions
Baroness Thomas of Winchester has sought answers from the Government in House of Lords Questions on persuading the NHS of the benefits of ongoing hydrotherapy for progressive conditions.
Baroness Thomas echoed the findings published by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign’s South West Muscle Group following an investigation led by South West campaigner, Khurm Arshad.
What are your experiences of accessing hydrotherapy pools?

no experience
Medway Maritime Hospital had one which was shut down many years ago. Reason was cost of repairs and maintenance plus lack of staff.
Re: Hydrotherapy highlighted in House of Lords questionsWhen I was first diagnosed twelve years ago I had physio once a week, that stopped after two years & now I’ve been getting an annual appointment only for assesment & sent home with a list of exercises to do on my own. Now even that centre has closed but, the last time I was there, two months ago, the physio said she would arrange an appointment for me to try hydrotherapy at Stoke Mandeville hospital… I’m still waiting for the appointment. I’ll see if I can progress it & I’ll let you know how I get on, if I ever do it
