  • Hydrotherapy provides a warm‑water, supportive environment that helps improve mobility, strength, confidence, and overall wellbeing. Sessions are delivered by a qualified physiotherapist/hydrotherapist, ensuring every child receives safe, tailored, and goal‑focused support.

    Hydrotherapy uses the natural properties of water — buoyancy, resistance, and warmth — to reduce pain, support movement, and build functional ability. It is suitable for a wide range of needs, including neurological conditions, musculoskeletal issues, developmental challenges, and confidence building in the water.

    Session Availability

    Hydrotherapy sessions run at Sandside Lodge School during term time:

    • Mondays: 3:00pm – 6:00pm

    • Thursdays: 4:00pm – 6:00pm

    Sessions are delivered in small groups of approximately 4, ensuring a calm, supportive environment with plenty of individual attention.

    Programme Structure & Cost

    Hydrotherapy is offered in 6‑week blocks, providing continuity and measurable progress over time.

    • £180 for all 6 sessions This fee includes:

      • Pool hire

      • Physiotherapy assessment and session delivery

      • Individualised plans and progress monitoring

      • Poolside assistance throughout

    For children who require additional support in the water, a parent, carer, or handler is welcome to assist to ensure safety and comfort.

    Hydrotherapy offers a fun, structured, and clinically informed approach to movement — helping children feel confident, supported, and empowered in a warm, sensory‑friendly environment.

  • Across all species, I offer structured rehabilitation programmes designed to support recovery, build strength, and promote long‑term function.

    This may include:

    • Progressive exercise programmes

    • Strength and conditioning

    • Mobility and flexibility work

    • Return‑to‑activity planning

    • Regular review sessions to monitor progress and adapt plans

  • I work closely with veterinary surgeons, GPs, farriers, saddlers, and other professionals to ensure every patient receives safe, coordinated, high‑quality care. Communication is clear, timely, and centred on what matters most: the comfort, function, and wellbeing of the individual patient.
