Dzherelo Children's Rehabilitation Centre hydrotherapy program hosts children who are seeking to relieve pain and muscle issues related to their physical conditions. The hydrotherapy pool is great for gentle exercise, rehabilitation, and pain management. The benefits of hydrotherapy can include reduced muscle pain, improved flexibility, and general well-being while in a relaxed setting. Swimming is proven as low-impact exercise. Our centre serves over 175 children daily and to date over 5000 since Dzherelo’s inception in 1993.
Our hydrotherapy program is run by qualified physio-therapists and supported by parents. Recently, one mother was able to see her child gain muscle strength through learning to reach for water noodles. Another child demonstrated improved shoulder movements by learning how to throw balls into a net. Please consider sharing about our project on Facebook or another Social Media. Thank you for learning about our Centre!
