Monty came to HHH with multiple fractures & surgeries for both arms, hands, ribs & leg, as well as a torn and repaired rotator cuff & a wrist and hand palsy, creating a dropped wrist. A prolonged hospital stay left him, in his own words, “stiff, weak, and fearful of moving and creating more pain or even damage to what was repaired.” The multi trauma patient presents unique challenges for therapists. As part of his therapy, aquatic therapy had several advantages over land. The warm water relaxed him, making him less guarded & improving tissue elasticity throughout his body. In the pool, he was lighter, allowing for less force & weight through healing fractures. Monty & the occupational therapist could work on strength and muscle re-education, without the fear of falling or causing harm. Monty believes he regained confidence, hope & power more quickly than had he not had the benefits of our dedicated and certified aquatic therapists.
