I recently discussed the the problems and recovery efforts of Expats who have recently suffered a stroke. It seems that the best action for recovery is a continuos program of physical theraphy. With that said one of the best forms of theraphy is in a swimming pool. For post-stroke patients, the weak links are many: compromised cardiovascular systems, decreased strength, limited mobility, reduced trunk control, changes in muscle tone, and poor balance. Until recently, most post-stroke patients have followed the traditional land therapy route and struggled to sit upright, transfer from a bed to a chair, shift their weight, and walk. But in a pool, patients can walk without fear of falling, assume a vertical position without unsteadiness and perform aerobic work without overloading the cardiovascular system. By protecting and addressing the body’s weakest links in the pool, a post-stroke patient can become more confident and capable of performing tasks and skills that once seemed out of reach. We would like to offer the facillities of Aqua-Landia Resort's swimming Pool to any stroke victim that would like to work out. This offer is FREE> We will waive our entry and usage fees as our intent is not profit motivated. We do not retain Physical Theraphists on staff nor are we selling a service.
