The pool, designed for children with specialist needs, has recently opened at Martin House Children’s Hospice, part of the £21.9 million project to extend and refurbish the hospice. Ava Rehman, aged two-and-a-half, was one of the first children to use the pool alongside her parents and sisters. "Ava absolutely loved it, and the girls loved it too – it was just a really special moment to get in the pool together. Martin House, which cares for children and young people with life-shortening conditions, will offer hydrotherapy sessions during planned care stays at the hospice, providing relief from symptoms like pain, muscle stiffness and spasm. Hydrotherapy can help relieve symptoms such as pain, muscle stiffness, and spasms, offering both therapeutic value and family togetherness.
