Mike Maynard GradDipPhys HT


Mike Maynard qualified from Bath School of Physiotherapy in 1980, and this training kindled his interest in aquatic physiotherapy. He joined the Royal Air Force on qualifying, and over 20 years served at various military hospitals both home and abroad. He is now Site Lead Physiotherapist at Pilgrim Hospital, in Boston, UK and is Clinical Lead for Aquatic Physiotherapy for United Lincolnshire Hospitals.


He has carried out aquatic physiotherapy treatments in situations as diverse as a 6-foot-square pool in Germany, to a full-size outdoor swimming pool in Cyprus and served 2 periods at the Medical Rehabilitation Unit Headley Court in Surrey. During the first period he was responsible for all the individual (rather than class-based) patients, and the second period involved responsibility for a complete pool rebuild plus setting policy for the running and use of the aquatic physiotherapy facility.


He successfully passed the Bath Hydrotherapy Course in 1996, and commenced national and international teaching on a variety of courses in 1998. He is on the committee of the Aquatic Therapy Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (ATACP); and took over the chair in April 2000.


He has presented at many aquatic physiotherapy study days and at the PCT conference at the NEC Birmingham in 2008. He also leads the Education subgroup of the ATACP. He was awarded a Chartered Society of Physiotherapy Distinguished Service Award for his services in aquatic physiotherapy in 2009.
