In a moment charged with emotion and hope, Viv who has faced years of physical challenges, returned to hydrotherapy at Seale Hayne for the first time in nearly six years and, stunned everyone by standing and walking in the water.
This remarkable milestone marks a profound turning point in Viv’s rehabilitation journey. After years away from hydrotherapy, today’s session was her first return to the pool. Against all odds, with her support team in the pool with her, Viv not only entered the water, she stood up and took steps, with a little help from her team.
The atmosphere in the hydrotherapy centre was emotional as staff witnessed the moment, overcome with pride and joy.
Viv’s brother proudly described the moment as “unreal” and “the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.”
“For years, we hoped for this day,” said one of Viv’s Support Workers. “To see her walk again, even in water, is beyond inspiring. It’s a testament to her strength, her willpower, and the power of never giving up.”
Viv’s journey has been one of quiet resilience and tireless effort, marked by setbacks, surgeries and physical therapy. Today’s achievement at Seale Hayne is a shining symbol of progress and a hopeful reminder of how far determination and support can take someone.
As we celebrate her breakthrough, her next steps, in every sense are eagerly awaited.
