Aquatic therapy can help
Children
Children enjoy therapy in the water. Fun games encourage kids to move and occupational therapy helps them learn to apply those movements to life outside the pool.
Adults
The pool is a relaxing and pain reducing strategy for therapy. Aquatic therapy can help adults after a stroke, acquired brain injury or spinal cord injury.
about Aquatic Occupational Therapy
From water to land
Aquatic occupational therapy helps people with skills needed for work and play! For children this can mean the skills needed for balance when playing on the floor or helping children manage their sensory experiences, so that they can be more engaged in the classroom. For adults, aquatic therapy can help regain skills needed for attending work, transferring into/out of a wheelchair or using both sides of the body after a stroke.
The power of aquatic therapy comes from qualities of being in the water- a weightless feeling, more resistance when moving through the water to strengthen muscles and the whole body sensory experience of being in the water. The experience of occupational therapy in the water is new to most people, fun and engaging- a great way to get therapy done!
