NOTE: KICK no longer offers a direct hydrotherapy service, however we are still in touch with some outside providers who hire space from us to conduct hydrotherapy. If you need a physio for hydrotherapy just email us at [email protected] and we are happy to recommend a few options. Alternatively, if you would like to use your own physio to conduct hydrotherapy in our pool, just pass on the email address to them and we can send them a lane hire quote for the pool.
