Hydrotherapy is beneficial to hospice patients, particularly the children, because the warm water and buoyancy stimulates circulation and makes exercise easier and more effective.
Many of our patients would not use public facilities because the water is too cold for them, there is little privacy or their medical condition prohibits it.
Because we have our own dedicated facility, we can control the numbers using the pool and the activities that are arranged to meet the needs of the individual. This means someone who is apprehensive can have their session alone in the pool if necessary.
The underwater lights and music and the water fountains provide additional stimulation for patients and the pool has a variety of water aids and toys to suit individual needs.
