Barrie went to hydra therapy for the first time this week at The Wellington Hospital in St John's Wood, he was lifted into the pool via an electric chair which saved him risking the stairs, difficult which crutches. Physiotherapist Susan de Jager was really helpful according to Barrie, he said the session was really quite exhilarating, the water was 34c which felt really very pleasant, Barrie needed some buoyancy aids as Susan said there was little body fat to keep him afloat ! This was very pleasing to his ears. The half hour first session was quite tiring but Susan was sure that hydra was the way to go. It was reported that he is very still in the hips and pelvic due to the long stay in hospitals where he was immobilised. There is another session booked for next week.
