South Lakeland Hydrotherapy Limited raises funds to support the Sandgate hydrotherapy pool in Kendal. The Pool offers the known benefits of hydrotherapy in a supportive environment that builds confidence and allows privacy. Benefits include improved mobility, easing of pain and growth in confidence.
The pool supports people recovering from long term conditions, physical and mental health conditions and operations. It is not always possible for long term sufferers to return to work, but where hydrotherapy is offered it can speed up recover after surgery for instance. With chronic long-term mobility problems, users report that they can maintain better levels of independence from regular sessions. The confidence and wellbeing of receiving social group therapy with other people in the same situation, in the privacy of a dedicated hydrotherapy pool cannot be underestimated.
Our fundraising enables this therapy to be delivered at an affordable cost (so as not to exclude the vulnerable users), to provide personalised and specialist sessions and to maintain the pool environment to a high standard.
