Hello @Pheather1

I think hydrotherapy provision is very dependent on where you live, and you can google your post code and hydrotherapy to find out if there is a facility near you. I am attaching some information from our website on hydrotherapy:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/treatments/therapies/hydrotherapy/

Do let us know how you get on and keep posting if we can help. I hope you manage to get some hydrotherapy.

Best wishes

In my area the local Versus Arthritis group apparently has access to hydrotherapy.

We also have some 'brine baths' nearby which I have used at a not to prohibitive cost.

Do let us know how you get on

Hi @Pheather1

Thank you for posting on the online community, I have read @CarylW post and hope you find that helpful, it may be a way forward. You could also try your local library who may have some information, as well as asking at your surgery. The link I have included may also have some information for you.
