New Hydrotherapy Pool Under Construction
The State Government has commenced construction of a new $1.4 million hydrotherapy pool to help Fraser Coast patients with their rehabilitation and recovery.
Health Minister Stephen Robertson said today the new pool will be based at the Maryborough Base Hospital campus.
“This is a vital piece of infrastructure which will assist patients recovering after treatment at Fraser Coast health facilities.
“It will provide a supervised environment for hospital patients and residential care facility clients to access hydrotherapy or aquatic physiotherapy.
“Patients with conditions such as arthritis, back and neck pain, sports injuries, work-related injuries, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s Disease as well as people recovering from orthopaedic surgery and stroke will benefit.”
Mr Robertson said the hydrotherapy pool would be located between Community Health and the new Yaralla Place on the Maryborough Base Hospital campus,
“This new pool will be built to Australian Standards and has been designed with the assistance of a consultant engineering firm.
“The pool will be built by FK Gardner and is expected to be completed early next year.”
