Aquatic Therapy

We love aquatic therapy as a way to provide opportunities for movement that patients may otherwise be unable to perform on land. It also introduces children to an activity that fosters life-long participation. The aquatic environment is ideal for patients with posture or movement dysfunction, and it is both highly motivating and FUN!
