At Gilmore House, we love using water’s natural magic to help children with special needs achieve amazing progress. Water’s buoyancy reduces stress on the joints, making movement smoother and more comfortable, while giving kids the freedom to move without worrying about impact on their bodies.
The resistance of water is like nature’s built-in workout tool—perfect for building strength, increasing endurance, and improving posture. It helps children work on everything from range of motion and motor planning to breath control and weight-bearing skills, all while having fun splashing around.
Water therapy isn’t just about physical progress—it also creates a motivating, stress-free environment where kids can explore new movements with joy. The calming properties of water help reduce anxiety and encourage a relaxed, focused mindset, making therapy feel more like a playful adventure than a traditional workout.
Best of all? Kids love it! Our custom-built heated hydrotherapy pool is equipped with a jet flow system, creating wave-like flow for added resistance training, offering a playful, low pressure environment where progress feels like fun. Complete with a jacuzzi system too, it’s therapy that feels like a splashy good time—because that’s when the real growth happens!
