Hydrotherapy
These pictures are captures from the Stanley
North Dakota facility. They show the use of
a hydrotherapy pool for all ages. It also
demonstrates the benefit of having a pool large
enough for more than two people. A hydro-
therapy pool is kept about 20 degrees warmer
than a lap pool and is shallow enough to allow
adults to stand but deep enough to give buoyancy
to keep weight stress off sore joints.
This view shows the size of the pool and
their wheelchair ramp on the far side. We
would put in a lift to allow wheelchair bound
individuals access to the pool. The lift takes
up less room and would be less costly. The
Stanley facility has seating area behind the
glass that you see. We would have aerobic
exercise machines and weight machines in a
similar location. This will allow a feeling of
openness and community on the lower level.
These are views showing group
activity and the
effect of buoyancy on movement. Shoes are
optional!!
They did it-Sheridan County
can too!!
