Looking for advice on hydrotherapy pools for my nephew!

xasx

Hello,

I’m new to here and I am wondering if you wonderful people would be able to help me out with some advice!

I have a beautiful nephew who has just been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and my family and I want to do everything we can to help him.

My dad is looking at buying a hydrotherapy pool for at home to allow my nephew you aqua therapy at all times.

I’m wondering if you can provided some names of the best hydrotherapy pools you would recommend and also if you have any hydrotherapy pools you have purchased which haven’t been great and you wouldn’t recommend.

Also any general advice for my nephew or how we can help him is more than welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @xasx and a warm welcome to the community! Have you checked local swimming pools or hospitals for a hydrotherapy facility? 

I'll tag @Richard_Scope who is our cerebral palsy officer..

Hi @Chloe_Scope,

Thanks, that's great!

Yeah we've looked into this but at the moment all of these are closed due to the current covid situation and we are lucky enough to have the room for the facilities at our home.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @xasx
Great to meet you! Hydrotherapy is one of the best therapies for cerebral palsy (CP). In the link, there is further information about how to access Hydrotherapy. I have also included some information about building your own pool
