Hydrotherapy
We have four qualified hydrotherapy staff members who work closely with our pupils.
At Heron Academy, we are proud to offer hydrotherapy as part of our comprehensive approach to supporting our pupils needs. Our hydrotherapy pool and trained staff provide a safe and engaging environment where pupils can enjoy the therapeutic benefits of water-based activities.
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy uses water to support physical, sensory, and emotional development. The warm water helps to relax muscles, reduce pain, and enhance movement, while the buoyancy allows students to explore mobility in ways that may not be possible out of the water.
Hydrotherapy can help:
- Improve mobility, balance, and coordination.
- Increase muscle strength and flexibility.
- Provide sensory stimulation and relaxation.
- Build confidence and promote emotional well-being.
Swimming
As part of the curriculum, every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday a group of pupils attend swimming lessons in a local leisure centre.
