Therefore, a child walking in the pool receives the benefit of both the support and resistance of the water. Aquatic therapy also helps relax muscles as pool water is maintained at a warm temperature around 88-90 degrees. Movement within and against warm water has a massaging effect on muscles, joints, and ligaments improving circulation and reducing inflammation pain. As you can see, aquatic therapy has a lot of health benefits and is a great environment for therapy sessions.Plus, how many kids do you know that don’t love jumping in the pool?

Benefits

Aquatic therapy offers many advantages and benefits to individuals recovering from all phases of injury or illness. The therapeutic properties of water combined with the skills and specialized training of aquatic therapists can help improve the patient's mobility and function. Here are a few benefits that patients can experience by opting for aquatic therapy.

  • Improved Balance: The uniform pressure of the water along with the specialized exercises by aquatic trainers, provide support to the patient's body which allows increased time to react without the fear of falling or getting hurt.

  • Increase in Muscle Strength: Water is 600-700 times more resistive than air which allows strengthening of weakened muscles. Water resists rapid movement so equipment with increases surface area is used to increase strength in the pool.

  • Decrease in Pain: Immersion in warm water increases the patient's comfort by increasing blood supply to sore muscles and promoting relaxation. Weight relief for weakened body structures also creates additional comfort, thus resulting in decreased pain.

  • Decrease Rigidity: Water temperatures above 92 degrees in conjunction with hands on techniques are effective in creating neutral warmth that educes increased rigidity which is a common symptom of any neurological injury or other injuries.

  • Increase in Joint Flexibility: Aquatic therapy offers a tremendous advantage as it reduces the effects of gravity, thus, allowing patients increased joint range in motion. The affected body part of the patient will float, making it easier and less painful to move.

Infant Swimming and Aquatherapy

Swimming strengthens their heart and lungs as well as their arm, leg and neck muscles. Bouncing and splashing in the water stimulates the vestibular system, aiding balance. Baby swimming is proven to help with little one's eating and sleeping patterns.

Children who need help with physical therapy can be a difficult situation, the truth is that children are not as patient as adults and they do not have the same strength and limitation adults do. That’s why physical therapists all over the country continue to utilize the highly-effective benefits of aquatic therapy to help children in need of physical therapy and for good reason.

Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

  • Increased strength and range of motion: For children who have suffered an injury such as a broken leg, their ability to move joints freely is highly limited due to swelling and lack of strength in their muscles. Therapy pools are a great environment to help with recovery due to the warm water that helps strengthen the joints. Plus, the resistance of the water makes it easier to lift the leg up and down and strengthen muscles. Performing exercises in the water also helps improve balance and coordination needed after suffering an injury.
  • Improves breath control and respiration: If a child suffers from speech issues, aquatic therapy can be very beneficial. Performing simple exercises such as holding their breath underwater while raising their arms up and down can help. The resistance of the water will help improve proper breathing control for speaking.
  • Reach developmental milestones: There are multiple scenarios where children need physical therapy to help achieve developmental milestones such as walking, crawling, rolling, and jumping. For example, studies have shown that aquatic therapy has helped children with cerebral palsy or diagnosed with autism in improving mobility and balance. They can benefit learning how to roll or walk in the water a lot easier compared to on land, and overall, water can help increase functional abilities and acquisition of developmental milestones
  • Improved social skills and self-confidence: When children can improve their motor skills, it helps decrease social anxiety and increase confidence. Performing exercises and games in the pool can improve competitive play, encourage speaking in children who have anxiety, and learn how to share toys. All these exercises can result in better social interaction and more confidence
  • Unlimited fun: When children can improve their motor skills, it helps decrease social anxiety and increase confidence.

Pediatric Physiotherapy


Our Expert team of pediatric physical therapists work to help children reach their maximum potential for functional activities. We use various methods like NDT(Neuro-Developmental Techniques), SI(Sensory Integration) Motor learning theories & constraints concept that includes stretching, gross motor skill exercises and muscle strengthening to improve child's physical ability.

Our therapist uses forms of play to keep children motivated. He or she may also use games and toys, depending on the activity and area of trouble. A therapist focuses on the child and maximizes efforts to help the child learn to overcome difficulties.

Common areas of focus include achieving milestones (physically as well as coordination and balance, climbing and riding, and navigating obstacles.Deficiencies in coordination and balance control are important aspects that keep children from falling easily.

Some children have difficulty determining the relation of the body to the amount of support the body provides, resulting in balance deficiencies. Other children cannot control movement in a coordinated manner. To help in this area, pediatric physiotherapy may involve the use of a large exercise ball in activities .Generally, motor coordination, range of motion, or strength are deficient areas that cause this problem and can be addressed with pediatric physiotherapy.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps children with motor, cognitive, physical, and speech delays to develop their skills. It also focuses on how kids carry out daily tasks and become self-reliant. They provide therapeutic interventions that help develop their fine motor skills, cognition, language skills, and more.

Who benefits from Pediatric OT?

Pediatric occupational therapy is very beneficial for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and developmental delays of varying degrees in all domains of development. Occupational therapy can also help kids who are recovering from a brain injury or stroke. There are many reasons why your child might need a little help, even if they had a normal birth and don’t seem to have any developmental problems. Oftentimes, there might be just one small area that, for whatever reason, the child doesn’t seem to be up to speed with their peers. If you see this in your child ask your pediatrician what you should do about it.

Pediatric occupational therapists work with children from the time they are born to the time they are adults. The skill sets they work with include feeding oneself, dressing oneself, using the bathroom independently, and walking without assistance.

Special Education

We have tailor-made Special education programs designed for those children who are mentally, physically, socially and/or emotionally delayed.

Special education is the practice of educating children in a way that accommodates their individual differences, disabilities, and special needs. It allows kids to enjoy the education and gain confidence due to individual learning. For the personal growth and development of the special children, it is important for all of them to receive proper education. The disability cases could include emotional, mental, physical or developmental.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy can be used for a variety of purposes. It’s useful to people who have difficulty speaking and those that need minor adjustments in their vocal patterns, such as stuttering or lisping.

Why is Speech therapy essential?

A child’s speech and language skills are one of the most important indicators of their intellectual development. If you suspect that your child has a delay in these areas, it is essential to get them tested as soon as possible. The sooner they start therapy, the better their chances for recovery.

What age can this therapy be started?

The earlier an issue is diagnosed, the easier it will be to correct with early intervention treatment before problems become more severe and harder to address. Early diagnosis also means quicker access to services such as speech therapy or occupational therapy, which can help support children during this crucial time when they are developing so much physically and cognitively.

Adult PhysioTherapy


We cover all aspects of Adult Physiotherapy. Everything and anything pertaining to this field is available in our center all under one roof.

There is reliable evidence for physiotherapy involvement for older people, especially those with falls, stroke, arthritis and frailty.

Physiotherapists help people affected by injury, illness or disability through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice. They maintain health for people of all ages, helping patients to manage pain and prevent disease.

Treatment Modalities

Introduction


Every child is unique, growing and developing at his or her own rate. Some differences between children of the same age are usually nothing to worry about. However, for one child in 10, these differences can be related to a developmental delays. The sooner these delays are identified, the quicker children may be able to catch up to their peers.



Introduction


We focus on five core areas of development:

  1. Cognitive Development
  2. Physical Development
  3. Communication Development
