Hydrotherapy
Our therapists offer 1:1 sessions at PARC (Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre) in Frankston during set times throughout the school term.
Water based therapy is suitable for all children over 6 months old.
Why Hydrotherapy?
The thermal affects of warm water can relieve muscle tone – loosens and relaxes tight muscles
The thermal effects of warm water can influence the release of stress hormones, improving digestion and blood flow,
enhancing circulation and relieving pain
Exercising in water enables a greater variety of movements for children who have difficulty moving on land
Desensitizes the nervous system to touch and pressure
Improves core strength and postural control
Allows your child to work across gravity and build strength in their arms and legs
It is game based and fun!
Common Conditions we treat with Hydrotherapy
Babies with low and high tone
Children with delayed motor skills
Children learning to swim, needing 1:1 support
Management of sporting injuries
Management of pain
Chronic Fatigue
Balance issues
