Hydrotherapy Pool

Hydrotherapy Pool

Our hydrotherapy pool is fully accessible with mechanical hoists to support students transitioning in and out of the pool. 

The pool is heated to a comfortable 32 degrees allowing students to participate in individual and small group therapy sessions 

Hydrotherapy involves participating in a range of exercises with a focus on building strength and skills.

Benefits of hydrotherapy include:

  • Building gross motor skills such as strength, balance and coordination

  • Building fine motor skills such as grip, hand and finger strength

  • Improving range of motion in joints

  • Increasing aerobic capacity

  • Exercising without pain or restricted movement

  • Working on communication skills including following instructions and expressing emotions

  • Improving posture
