Life changing therapy for people with disabilities or special needs
Scuba Therapy is the foundation of the The Scuba Gym Australia. We invite people with disabilities to don a mask and scuba gear and let go of many of the senses that defines them as “disabled” – just for a moment feel what it feels like to stand again, to jump, to move through the water, perhaps swimming again.
For our paraplegics and quadriplegics this in itself is an out of this world feeling and practically speaking will reduce pains and discomfort not just for the time underwater – long into the night.
We will increase your lung capacity and improve your lung function. We will move you, stand you up and exercise you – pushing you to push yourself to new levels of strength and fitness. And you will be amazed as to how incredible you feel as well as tired from the workout.
Your workout is tailor-made for you depending on the diagnosis you present and your goals you have set for yourself.
We believe in all our divers and you get to take yourself to a world with less noise and more connection with yourself. ‘If s/he can do it then so can I’ words that everyone will be thinking at some stage in their scuba gym journey.
These are just a few examples of the small differences that made a massive difference to the lives of our divers. Their diagnosis vary from hypotonia, MS, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Acquired Brain Injury.
