IN SUPPORT OF
LARGE HYDROTHERAPY POOL
at Hadassah Hospital
Hydrotherapy is an effective form of water-based physical therapy that eases pain and promotes strength and movement throughout the rehabilitation process. Water embraces and supports patients with a soothing, low-impact environment for exercise. Temperature-controlled treatment in hydrotherapy pools targets a variety of patients healing from traumatic injuries and suffering from chronic pains to help them improve their motor skills, strength, and agility.
Studies have found that hydrotherapy can be a good supplement to physical therapy in the recovery from an injury or surgery. It is also a medication-free and non-invasive option for alleviating symptoms such as muscle pain and joint stiffness.
PTSD TREATMENT UTLIZING HYPERBARIC OXYGEN
at Shamir Medical Center
Shamir Medical Center, home to the largest and most sophisticated hyperbaric treatment center worldwide, is a global leader in the research and treatment of PTSD. Their groundbreaking method combines hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) with the expertise of a multidisciplinary team dedicated to treating severe PTSD. This innovative treatment protocol was developed for severe, treatment-resistant PTSD to significantly improve symptoms, enhance performance, and facilitate a swift return to normal life.
Supporting therapy will help heal individuals, children, and adults who have endured unimaginable pain. Your support can help them regain hope and rebuild their lives.
*If we exceed our goals for a project commitment, due to donor generosity, we reserve the right to reallocate the additional funds raised to other funding commitments in Israel or Canada.
