How WL Hydrotherapy Began
WL Hydrotherapy was originally created for William, whose ongoing needs inspired the development of a warm, supportive environment where he could safely build strength, confidence, and comfort in the water.
Seeing how transformative hydrotherapy was for William, Jill chose to open the pool to others in the community. The aim is simple – to make these benefits available to anyone who may need them, without barriers and without profit as the priority.
