The physiotherapy team at Amersham Hospital are welcoming patients to a much-improved hydrotherapy pool.
The new pool was opened on 18th February and is described as ‘incredibly important’ for post-surgical recovery, pain management, for patients with rheumatism, and for the rehabilitation of neurological patients.
The bigger pool will enable the physiotherapy team to work with small groups of patients, instead of being limited to holding one on one sessions, as well as facilitating a wider variety of techniques.
Aquatic therapy lead physiotherapist at Amersham Hospital, Kirsty Campbell notes: “During the COVID-19 pandemic many hydrotherapy facilities in the UK had to close and many have not been able to reopen.
“It is therefore fantastic that we are to welcome patients once again and, on top of that, are able to treat them in fabulous new facilities that can support an even greater range of therapies.”
