Hi - Our local hydrotherapy pool in Bedford has been closed and the only local option is to pay privately which cost around £450 for six sessions! Does anyone know any hydrotherapy pool near Bedford that I could use?
Thanks in advance.

@andrewuk I'm so sorry to hear the local one has closed! Did they give a reason as to why they closed it?Hannah - She / Her

Hi Hannah - I sat on a patient panel with our local health authority because they had closed it. We offered a more affordable solution to get the pool back up and running but they said it's was 90k for a new boiler as it's very old.It's such a shame as I have personally had hydrotherapy since I was young and the benefits have always been so much better than typical land physiotherapist. There are loads of pools for dogs around our area but not for humans!

That is such a shame I hope one opens up that's cheaper or someone donates a boiler! My dog uses a hydro pool for her joints. Is the one that's private part of a gym / fitness company?Hannah - She / Her

It's a private company and have a long waiting list and obviously very expensive.

@andrewkuk Could your local MP help you with this at all? Maybe to find the money for the boiler?Hannah - She / Her

I have emailed them but it seems difficult to get any information from our local health authority. I know some physiotherapists are on the fence to the effectiveness or hydrotherapy but I have had some really good results.

@andrewkuk It may be worth having a read of a few journals. From what I remember from my university days, they tend to have the most up to date statisticsHannah - She / Her
