💦 Hydrotherapy with Beth at & Eli at 💦
If there’s one place Logan is completely in his element, it’s the water! 💙
Logan absolutely loves swimming and being in the pool, but hydrotherapy gives him so much more than just something he enjoys. In the water, he can move his body in ways that can be much harder for him on land. The buoyancy of the water supports his body and reduces the amount of weight going through his muscles and joints, allowing him to move more freely and work on strength, movement and control in a much more comfortable way.
Recently, Logan has been struggling with scapular winging. This is where the shoulder blade doesn't sit flat against the rib cage and instead sticks outwards, almost like a little wing. It can happen when the muscles responsible for supporting and controlling the shoulder blade aren't working as effectively as they should, and it can lead to weakness, discomfort and difficulties with certain movements.
Hydrotherapy has been a brilliant way for Beth and Eli to work on this with Logan. 💪💦
Because the water supports him, Logan can practise movements with less strain on his body, while the natural resistance of the water helps him strengthen the muscles around his shoulders, back and core. The warmth of the hydrotherapy pool can also help relax tight muscles and ease aches and discomfort.
And the biggest bonus?
Logan doesn't really see it as therapy. 🥰
To him, he's in the water, moving, splashing and having fun — while behind the scenes he's working incredibly hard and making progress.
We've already started to see a real improvement in his scapular winging, so we've decided to continue with further hydrotherapy sessions to build on the progress he's making.
Sometimes therapy doesn't have to look or feel like therapy… and for Logan, the water is definitely one of those places where movement just seems to come that little bit easier. 💙🌊
A huge thank you to Beth at Movement Physio and Eli at Dragons Physio for continuing to find ways to help Logan move, strengthen and progress while doing something he genuinely loves. 🥰
