Aquatic Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy when provided in a water medium is a wonderful tool to promote strengthening, cardiovascular endurance, and tone normalization without using balance compromising exercises or activities.

Aquatic Physical therapy leverages the warm water’s buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure to reduce spasticity/hypertonia, improve muscular strength and flexibility, enhance mobility, and increase circulation. It is especially beneficial for those children with neurological conditions who are greatly challenged by land activities due to lack of balance and body awareness, as falling is not really a consideration in the water.
