Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy can help improve mobility, strength, and coordination with the unique input and support from water. Moving in a pool changes the impact of gravity and supports the joints and muscles, giving us the ability to address some concerns and movement patterns we can’t easily address on dry land.

Plus therapy in the pool can be fun!

Take a Deeper Dive

Aquatic therapy can be great for increasing range of motion and flexibility, providing sensory regulation, and increasing the ability to freely move. Aquatic therapy is appropriate for most children, including diagnoses such as:

  • Cerebral palsy
  • Spina bifida
  • Genetic disorders
  • Hypotonia or hypertonia
  • Autism spectrum disorder

Each child is evaluated individually to determine their suitability and safety for therapy in the water. If you wonder if aquatic therapy might be appropriate, just ask your therapist.
