physiotherapy
The Neuromuscular
Centre has access to a hydrotherapy pool 4 days a week, which means
that we can run sessions of one hour at lunchtimes, and also a late
afternoon two hour session on 1 day a week. The Hydrotherapy changing
rooms have ceiling track hoists and hydraulic plinths, as well as walk-in
showers.
People with muscular dystrophy discover a sense of freedom in the water
as they are able to move, walk and exercise supported by buoyancy and
use of floats.
Patients are given specific exercises to do in the water to target their
problem areas, as well as being encouraged to swim.
