Hydrotherapy has a range of physical and non-physical benefits. Here are just some of the ways the pool can be beneficial for people with different conditions.

- Improve lung function to ward off chest infections
- Improve muscle strength and recruitment
- Reduce the effect of gravity while learning a new skill
- Manage contractures
- Reduce pain associated with disability
- To improve social skills in a public setting
- Feel calm and relaxed and have fun!

Siblings and parents are included in therapy. This develops a "sense of belonging," builds relationships with siblings, and normalises disability. 

It also makes it easier for families to implement strategies into everyday life and get the most from their therapy.

Accessing funding, communication needs, and advocating for the support that is needed often requires formal assessments and reports.
