Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy
Highly recommended for children with ASD
Our team uses the pool water at our Centre to provide complementary physiotherapy sessions for children with disabilities.
Why do we provide Hydrotherapy?
- Creating bonds
During the hydrotherapy sessions, children will interact densely with the therapist, this enhances the child’s social skills. This kind of therapy is strongly recommended for ASD children.
- Water resistance
While water surrounds the child’s full body, it causes deep and heavy pressure. Children start to try different movements to face the pressure.
- Water temperature
In order to minimize the spasticity and muscle tone, the pool water should be warm enough to cause relaxation in the neuromuscular junctions. Then miracles can happen!
- Great sensory stimulation
warm water and pressure can stimulate the children to relax and focus. This can help them to start behaving in a balanced and organized way. And out of the pool, hydrotherapy encourages children to reduce or stop repetitive behaviors and sounds.
