Physiotherapy in Bognor Regis
Patients from Bognor Regis, Felpham, Aldwick and the Bersteds have been coming to Fontwell Physio for years. Our clinic sits a short way inland at The Wolds on Fontwell Avenue in Fontwell, close enough for a straightforward journey and far enough out to have space for facilities a town-centre clinic simply cannot fit.
Those facilities matter most to the people who need them most. Alongside private treatment rooms we have a fully equipped gym and a purpose-built hydrotherapy pool, all on one site, which means a rehabilitation programme can move between them as your recovery progresses.
Hydrotherapy for Bognor Regis patients
Hydrotherapy is the reason a great many Bognor Regis patients find their way to us, particularly after surgery. Following a hip or knee replacement, spinal surgery or a fracture, getting moving early matters, but land-based exercise can be painful or simply not yet possible.
Warm water at 34 degrees changes that equation. The water carries a proportion of your body weight, so joints are loaded far more gently while you still get the movement and muscle activity that recovery depends on. Every session is supervised by chartered physiotherapists and hydrotherapy instructors.
- Getting in and out: stairs with rails for those who can manage them, and a seated hoist for those who cannot
- Changing: four private rooms with showers, so there is no communal changing area
- One to one sessions: a therapist in the water with you, working through a programme designed for your surgery or injury
- Self-treatment sessions: continue your own programme independently once it has been set up
- Aqua fitness classes: from gentle joint mobility through to a demanding hour of aerobic work
You will need a one to one session first so we understand your goals. Our hydrotherapy page explains how the different options fit together.
Physiotherapy at Fontwell Physio
Our physiotherapy service covers everything from a recent injury to pain that has been part of your life for years. Assessment comes first, always, because treating the wrong thing well is no better than treating the right thing badly.
Our clinicians are among the most experienced in the region and are HCPC and CSP registered. If you are recovering from orthopaedic surgery, that is an area we work in constantly, and you can read about how we support people recovering from orthopaedic injury or surgery.

- A full history. What happened, what makes it worse, what you want to get back to.
- Examination and explanation. We tell you what we have found in plain terms, not clinical shorthand.

Where pain is limiting your ability to engage with rehabilitation, we can also offer osteoarthritis injections and steroid injections administered by a specialist physiotherapist and independent prescriber.
