My wife had a stroke 3years ago.
She is 58 years old.
She has limited movement on her right side and cannot speak.
Due to lack of activity she is putting on weight and finding it more difficult to move around.
I am on discovery medical aid comprehensive plan.
I thought that some kind of hydrotherapy may help and noticed that you have a pool facility.
Do you offer hydrotherapy for her condition?
