The Hydrotherapy Pool

Our hydrotherapy facility is a state-of-the-art centre designed to provide the best in rehabilitation and physical therapy. We’re proud to offer what is arguably one of the finest hydrotherapy pools in the Hunter Region. While we love to see our clients benefit from this space, please note that our facility is purpose-built for therapeutic use under the direction and supervision of our skilled physiotherapy team—it is not a public swimming pool or suitable for general social activities.

A Vision of Excellence

Charlie, our founder, had a clear vision when creating this facility. Drawing on 12 years of experience running Shortland Physiotherapy & Hydrotherapy and inspired by visits to leading hydrotherapy centres in Sydney, he spared no detail in crafting a space that prioritizes both functionality and comfort. From the well-designed change rooms and lockers to the thoughtfully positioned skylights and non-slip flooring, every element has been carefully considered to ensure a superior experience.

​

Stringent Standards for Comfort and Safety

Our pool is meticulously maintained to meet the highest standards of cleanliness and safety:

• Temperature: Consistently held at 33-34°C for optimal comfort and therapeutic benefit.

• Water Quality: Tested three times daily to ensure perfect clarity and correct chemical balance. Additionally, monthly independent testing ensures we meet all Australian Standards for public pools.

• Hygiene: We take pride in maintaining a clean and welcoming environment throughout the centre

​

Purpose-Built Features

The pool measures 10 metres by 6 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.05 metres to 1.40 metres. Our pool is accessible via stairs and a mechanical chair lifter, in addition to assistive technology such as an ARJO lifter and ARJO Sara Stedy for ease of transfers. We also provide all necessary aquatic exercise equipment and buoyancy aids for your sessions.

Tailored Hydrotherapy Programs

Hydrotherapy is physiotherapy performed in water, offering a low-impact way to achieve rehabilitation goals. Each client undergoes a thorough assessment to ensure their program is customized to their needs and physical capabilities. Our team also demonstrates the correct use of all equipment to maximize safety and effectiveness.

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing a chronic condition, or seeking targeted physical therapy, our hydrotherapy facility is here to support your journey to better health.
