Aqua Therapy
What is Aqua Therapy?
Aqua therapy for kids can be preferred as exercise and recreational therapy. It is one of the best treatment choices as it improves a child’s muscle strength through games and activities. Many therapists recommend Aqua therapy for children for with neurological or developmental disorders. It is often recommended as a postoperative recovery remedy for kids who had surgeries neurological development and to improve orthopedic conditions.
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.
How is Aqua Therapy Performed?
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.
