.. she is very comfortable and relaxed in the water and today’s session saw further improvement with none of the fear of falling that accompanies her physiotherapy sessions.
She was able to kick with both legs whilst floating on her back and perform the scissors movement better than she had done last time.
Jo performed several stands from a sitting position in the water, pulling herself upright with the bar at the side of the pool. The first time it was difficult for her to control the left leg, bending it down and placing it on the floor of the pool. Each successive attempt saw this accomplished more readily.
We have a review with the physiotherapist in two weeks time and we shall discuss whether to increase Jo’s land-based therapy or whether it is worth investing the time (and money, this is being paid out of our pocket as it is not available on the NHS or via medical insurance) in increasing the frequency of these beneficial sessions.
