Gloucestershire Wellbeing Centre

Welcome to Lifeworks by Rio, the newest venture by Rio Pools in Charfield, Gloucestershire.

Lifeworks is an opportunity for us to redirect our knowledge and experience in the leisure industry into the wellbeing sector, with the construction of our fantastic all-purpose yurt and full-size pressure controlled hydrotherapy pool room.

We understand the importance of taking a break, how leisure and spending time in water particularly can help enhance a healthy lifestyle, mindset, and overall sense of wellbeing. We are therefore thrilled to introduce Lifeworks, an opportunity for members of the community to use and enjoy our wellbeing facilities, and feel the positive impact of taking some time out to reconnect, be it through yoga, hydrotherapy, dance or arts & crafts.

Hydro 1

Dog Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy for your dog involves either a pool or underwater treadmill, to treat acute and chronic injury or for recreational use for exercise and fitness.

The use of hydrotherapy is to encourage the dog’s limbs to move correctly in the water while undergoing safe and comfortable exercise.

Hydrotherapy utilises the natural properties of sanitised, warm water including buoyancy to support the body and reduce the dog’s weightbearing, increased resistance to help build muscle and increase ROM, hydrostatic pressure to increase circulation and help improve posture, and warmth to reduce muscle spasm and tension.
