Hydrotherapy
Water Based Therapy
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 children over 6 months old. Exercising in water water enables a greater variety of movements for children who have difficulty moving on land, and more importantly, its really fun!
Why Hydrotherapy?
The thermal effects of warm water can:
Relieve muscle tone, to loosen and relax tight muscles
Influence the release of stress hormones to improve digestion and blood flow
Enhance blood circulation
Relieve Pain
Desensitize the nervous system to touch and pressure
Improves core strength and postural control
Allows your child to work across gravity to strengthen their muscles
Hydrotherapy is great for:
Babies with low and high tone
Children with developmental delay - up to prep
Children learning to swim, needing 1:1 support
Management of sporting injuries
Children with strength deficits
Management of pain
Chronic Fatigue
Balance issues
