Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a highly effective treatment for individuals with various neurological conditions and is often used alongside other rehabilitation techniques. For clients suffering from neurological illness or injury the water provides a weightless setting in which they can perform activities that may be otherwise be difficult or impossible to perform. Hydrotherapy can help to reduce muscle spasms, improve muscle strength and improve mental health and well-being.
Hydrotherapy shares the same goals as traditional rehabilitation programs, with the added benefits of the physical properties of the warm water such as weightlessness, which makes achieving these objectives more achievable;
- Prevention of contractures and improved joint mobility
- Enhancing muscle activity
- Develops motor control to aid functional goals
- Increases muscle strength
- Improves endurance
- Provides a safe environment for practicing walking and weight transfer
- Promotes independence
- Promotes mental health and well being
- Enhance overall quality of life
Applicable Neu Living Clients will receive a personalised hydrotherapy program designed by a team of experienced therapists. This program is tailored to the individual’s specific goals, utilising the properties of water to facilitate the rehabilitation. The program will incorporate strengthening exercises using water’s resistance, stretching with the buoyancy effect, and relaxation to normalise muscle tone and reduce stiffness through the warmth of the water. Functional activities, such as reaching and grasping floating objects may be incorporated depending on the clients goals. Our clients with be accompanied at all times by a therapist whilst in the pool, providing support and facilitating movements throughout the duration of the session.
Our pool is fully accessible for all of our clients no matter the physical challenges.
