Water Therapy
Water Therapy
Aquatic therapy is the use of water to support or teach a child skills just like they would in land therapy. Aquatic therapy techniques incorporate social interaction such as sharing and taking turns to develop emotional regulation skills. Exercise improves blood flow to the brain to enhance cognitive regulation; therefore, pool therapy games such as Simon Says and charades incorporate memory and problem solving.
Benefits of aquatic therapy
Water provides unique benefits that are not possible with traditional, land-based methods due to the effects of gravity. Research shows that the unique, physiological benefits of water can help children who struggle with illness or injuries. These unique qualities include:
- Buoyancy
- Hydrostatic pressure
- Thermal sensory input.
