Hydrotherapy

At Dame Hannahs we have our own on-site hydrotherapy pool and regular sessions form part of each young adult's therapy plan.

The pool with its hoists enables our young people to enjoy and benefit from hydrotherapy sessions in the warm water set at 34-35 degrees. All of our residents have a weekly one to one hydrotherapy session with one of our therapy assistants.

Benefits include relaxing and decreasing high tone and spasticity. The warm water supports much of a young adult’s body weight and can increase circulation, reduce muscle spasms and relieve pain.
