Blundellsands & Crosby Physio Hydrotherapy Service
Pool side view
We are delighted to have a hydrotherapy partnership with Liverpool Swimming Academy. Based in the heart of Waterloo, Liverpool, their excellent facilities include a warm water heated pool, electric hoist access and accessible changing facilities.
Chartered physiotherapist, Ben Watkins delivers hydrotherapy for patients with a wide variety of orthopedic, musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.

It is now a privilege to be able to offer this service at Blundellsands and Crosby Physio.
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is a form of aquatic physiotherapy which uses the warmth, hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy in the pool to facilitate movement. A range of techniques and equipment can be used to support exercises that patients may find too painful or difficult to perform out of the pool. The hydrotherapy pool is also a great place to perform relaxation techniques for pain management, improve balance, build endurance and regain vital confidence after an injury.
Group Hydrotherapy
The hydrotherapy service is currently set up primarily for group therapy. We maintain a safe therapist to participant ratio at all times and consider individual ability and needs. Each participant will be working towards their own goals in a program set and supported by a chartered physiotherapist. Therapists will be in the pool alongside patients at all times to assist with exercise technique and answer questions.

Pre group screening
Due to the nature of group hydrotherapy, pre assessment and medical screening is mandatory. All group members must attend an initial assessment with a physiotherapist. During this appointment a full history of your condition will be taken and the aims of your program in the pool discussed. A medical screening questionnaire must also be completed in advance of starting hydrotherapy. If you have any concerns regarding medical fitness to participate please discuss this with your GP prior to booking.
