Factors to take into account
- Children don’t need to be able to swim to do hydrotherapy.
- Buoyancy aids can be used if needed.
- You must always have a competent adult there supporting them for safety and reassurance at all times.
- Having this time for free play and movement can also improve concentration and behaviour in the classroom.
Heated Water
The increased warmth of the water encourages relaxation by affecting the individual neuro-muscular junctions. This relaxation results in decreased spasticity and muscle tone.
Joints
A symptom of Cerebral Palsy is stiff/painful joints, so the buoyancy of the water is used to assist the movement in the joints.
Benefits of Buoyancy
The buoyancy alleviates fears of potential injury when trying new movements.This allows children to try things they wouldn’t attempt on land. Over time, this can really improve the range of movement for children with Cerebral Palsy.
Freedom of Movement
For children with CP who use wheelchairs, sitting all day in their chairs can be restricting.So, the freedom of movement in the pool is welcoming.
