Hydrotherapy for children now available at LBhealthcare!
LBhealthcare is excited to announce the launch of its latest service – Hydrotherapy for children.
Aimed at children of all ages, our new Hydrotherapy sessions are a relaxed and fun way to help your child to develop a sense of wellbeing and confidence in a warm, friendly environment in one of the UK’s largest Hydrotherapy Pools here at LBhealthcare.
Whether your child has a developmental delay, a neurological condition or is simply recovering from injury, experienced Paediatric Physiotherapist, Verity Boord, is offering sessions tailored to your child’s specific and individual requirements.
Very careful direction is required to ensure young muscles and growing bones are not overly pushed, and children with more severe disabilities need extra special care. Exercising in the warmth and support of the water helps to strengthen muscles, ease pain and muscle tightness, improve mobility, active movement, circulation and physical fitness. It also improves core stability, body control and posture, challenges balance and co-ordination and aids weight bearing (or non-weight bearing) depending on the needs of your child.
Even babies love the pool, which is maintained at a balmy 34°C. Kicking their feet and splashing to their heart’s content, children often surprise everyone at what they can do when free and having fun in the water.
Getting the whole family involved can also be paramount in a child’s day-to-day happiness and success. With that in mind all parents or carers may join their child for fun and games in the pool too.
As with adults, children can respond extremely well to hydrotherapy – their treatment just has to be about having fun. Teenagers, school children, toddlers and babies – if you want them to grow up strong, happy and confident, get them moving!
All sessions are held on Mondays.
