What is Aqua Therapy?
Aqua therapy is better than traditional land-based physical therapy because physical therapy can be hard and difficult for children with disabilities. However, they can move freely in water, and it is the only environment they can perform independently. Low-impact exercises can be done in water to help the kids gain strength and flexibility in the body.
Aqua therapy is the best choice of treatment for kids with disabilities and for postoperative recovery. The exercise focuses on sensory integration, body awareness and motor planning. This helps the children to learn how to move muscles and the body in different ways. In addition to that, water is considered a healing and therapeutic source for relaxation and body stimulation. Children learn all these skills in the water, which is a very playful and fun environment.
