During the school holidays we run intensive hydrotherapy and physiotherapy SDR blocks.
This course involves daily land-based physiotherapy and hydrotherapy sessions and a fun swim session at the end of each day.
From a previous SDR block, we are so pleased to be able to report that by the end of the week, C achieved the following:
- She sat up from lying down, a skill she has never achieved unaided before.
- She stood for a few minutes, holding onto a ladderback with only light touch pelvic support.
- Her walking pattern in her walker improved, and some of her sessions are now partly run without her ankle and foot splints (AFO’s).
- She could actively (only just with a lot of effort) take her legs apart and lift them up when in the pool. We hope she will achieve this on land during her next block at Easter.
