Medical Screening
All patients will complete an aquatic physiotherapy medical screening form, to identify any precautions or contraindications to exercise in a warm water pool. Some conditions will require clearance from their GP before commencing pool sessions.
In some instances, risks may be managed by limiting time and/or depth of submersion and slowly exiting the pool, in consultation with GP.
Further information on contraindications and precautions can be found in the guidelines below.
