Autumn is finally upon us and the colder weather made Jo and I feel more weary than usual today. Jo did not really feel like going to hydrotherapy but persevered anyway. Once in the water the beneficial effects manifested themselves yet again, with Jo progressing in her ability to place her left leg down on the bottom of the pool from a position floating on her back. On her first attempt she could hardly manage it but each successive attempt saw her gain in proficiency and confidence. Such was her increase in confidence that, on the last two stands accomplished thus, she took her right hand away from the side rail and stood completely unsupported.
Apparently this neuro hydratherapy used to be provided by the local hospital on the NHS but it is no longer supported. That is a great shame as Jo and I feel this is more beneficial to her than regular physiotherapy.
