Aquatic Therapy
Fa.De is proud of the collaboration it has with Aquarea. The mutual goal of the therapists and parents/caregivers is to promote happiness, health and social interaction with loved ones. Aquatic therapy is a viable modality in the rehabilitation process for achieving optimal quality of life for children with conditions including, but not limited to: Cerebral Palsy, Juvenile Arthritis, Spina Bifida, Scoliosis, Down’s Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Orthopedic or Musculoskeletal Pain Syndromes. Exercising while the body is submerged in water can positively impact the overall health and wellness of people of all ages and abilities, including children with special needs. 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 skills. 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. Water’s unique properties allow individuals to benefit from less pressure on the joints, reduced inflammation, and a safe environment to improve balance and strength and promote psychomotor development. This therapy is also a great option for individuals who are unable to exercise on land. They can improve their strength and endurance to recover or improve from their condition. The fundamental characteristic of water therapy is the conjunction of various professional figures specialized in child care, such as speech therapists, occupational therapists and psychologists, who together follow the child's development step by step.
To make sure you are well prepared for a session, come with your swimsuit, a towel, shoes for the pool area, and a plastic water bottle to ensure you stay hydrated throughout the session. A positive attitude and openness are also a good thing to have.
