What Are the Side Effects Of Hydrotherapy?
After a hydrotherapy session, your child may feel quite tired as they’ve used a lot of their energy performing exercises in the water. We would always recommend an increase in fluid intake immediately after a hydrotherapy session. They might also feel slight muscle soreness (DOMS) in the days following.
Hydrotherapy can be used to treat a range of conditions and the symptoms they present including Cerebral Palsy, developmental delay, genetic conditions, hypermobility, high and low tone muscles, spasticity and juvenile arthritis.
