Situation
There is an acute shortage of hydrotherapy pools & provision for, children, young people and adults with neurological disabilities e.g. cerebral palsy, MS, Parkinson’s, and strokes. Group sessions for children are most importantly fun yet deliver therapy through song & games. Adult sessions run as groups or for individuals, this helps reduce pain, build muscle strength, help balance with mobility and improve function in daily life. This gives confidence and enables them to complete simple tasks.
Solution
Our newly refurbished hydrotherapy pool is the only specialist pool in north west Surrey. It is used 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year. This vital service will provide access to continuous hydro intervention for so many users, when long term therapy is not available on the NHS for adults with neurological conditions. Babies and children with cerebral palsy benefit greatly from this type of therapy too. It benefits all users exercise, strength, pain relief and a profound sense of wellbeing,
