Hydrotherapy is gentle movement or exercise in a warm water pool which helps to improve muscle function, can improve balance, and help ease aches and pains and encourage relaxation. The warmth at 33-36 degrees, allows tight muscles and tendons to relax and permits stretching of joints and limbs. It also relieves chronic pain, and the exercise improves cardiovascular and respiratory function. The weightlessness and support of the water allows freedom of movement to paralysed limbs and provides a force against which to exercise, to maintain muscle strength and tone.

Our accessible hydrotherapy pool is specially designed for individuals with disabilities, additional needs, those recovering from injuries, and those experiencing mobility challenges or chronic pain. It is particularly beneficial for people with conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, Parkinson's disease, neuropathy, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral palsy, and more. If this meets your needs please email Bookings@chamwellcentre.org.uk for a registration form.
Registration is £10 per year for an individual / £20 per year for a family. From there visits to use the pool can be booked in - 45 minutes £7 for an adult or a child. This is using the facility on a self-led basis. We have tailored group sessions for adults, children and babies, including swim lessons throughout the week.
We are a charity supporting registered users with disabilities and additional needs by subsidising hydro pool fees. Our fundraising helps keep costs low, focusing on those who need our specialised facilities, not the general public.
Swimming for babies - is only available via Turtle Tots not as a registered users. Our hydrotherapy pool also offers a safe and supportive environment for baby swimming, in partnership with Turtle Tots Gloucestershire, who provide expert advice on safe swimming practices and sessions for babies. https://www.turtletots.com/uk/location/gloucestershire/
The Chamwell Centre was built entirely by charitable funding and will rely on the generosity of the public, businesses and charitable trusts to continue its work and to ensure that children and adults in Gloucestershire can enjoy its facilities.
