I joined this forum in 2010 but didn't really participate until my recurrence in 2016. There has been some great stuff happening here in the last couple of years--support and humour, the sharing of ...
@kmkam Yes but private pools are expensive to hire unlike hydrotherapy pools in public hospitals which may not always be fully utilised. My Encore hydrotherapy session was 5-6 which was probably not a busy time at the public hospital - I remember we had to be out by 6 as there were classes for pregnant women held then.
After my course the hydrotherapy pool was filled in -too old and needing extensive expensive repair we were told.A nearby alternative public hospital with a hydrotherapy pool was sold to an aged care organisation. Basically the Y here researched many private options including the alternative mentioned but costs were too high.Encore has no state govt funding here- I believe it does in NSW which has an extensive program.
Victoria has outstanding sporting facilities surely they could support Encore in Victoria by providing after hours(?) access to the Encore program. There’s plenty of research supporting the benefits of the program.
Btw my group arranged our own exercise at a nearby pool but often busy centre and temperature not that required for hydrotherapy.Still strong social benefits.
