Hydrotherapy is incredibly beneficial for all of our children, especially for those suffering from cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a debilitating disorder that affects mobility, muscle tone and the posture of an individual. Exercising can help maintain range of motion and decrease pain.
The warm pool water allows the muscles to relax, encourages circulation and relieves stress in the body.
Not only is the heated pool a wonderful tool for the hydrotherapy, but also a great source of fun! The children love the weightlessness offered by their own buoyancy in the water. All pool activities are conducted under the very capable eyes and hands of our wonderful occupational therapists.
