Aquatic Therapy

Hydrotherapy or Aquatic Therapy is carried out to boost sensory processing and provide physical exercise. It is also a great way to enhance self-regulation. Children with special needs, joint motion concerns, musculoskeletal conditions, and neurological conditions are often advised to choose Aquatic Therapy.

Challenges Faced

Children up to the age of 10 may experience difficulties in various areas

Sensory Processing Issues

Children with special needs may struggle with sensory processing, impacting their ability to interpret and respond to sensory information.

Physical Constraints

Limited joint motion, musculoskeletal conditions, and neurological challenges can restrict physical activity and overall development.

Self-Regulation Difficulties

Maintaining emotional and physical self-control can be challenging, especially for children facing neurological or developmental issues.

Lack of Balance and Coordination

Many children may have difficulty achieving physical coordination and balance, which are crucial for everyday tasks.

What Can Be Done

Hydrotherapy / Aquatic Therapy offers a unique environment for therapeutic intervention through these:

Sensory and Physical Stimulation

The water’s gentle pressure, buoyancy, and temperature naturally soothe muscles and nerves.

Expert-Led Sessions

Trained physiotherapists utilize the physical properties of water (hydrostatic pressure, vestibular stimulation, and proprioceptive feedback) to support therapeutic exercises.

Customized Approach

Therapy sessions are tailored to address each child’s specific needs, focusing on improving sensory processing, coordination, and self-regulation.
