AQUATICS
Aquatic therapy also has unique qualities that provide a more efficient treatment than
can be accomplished in a clinical setting. Buoyancy, a natural property of water, allows
the child to move and use muscles that are too weak to function on land against gravity.
Resistance, another property of water, strengthens and reinforces movement patterns.
Water also provides sensory stimulation and organization that allow children to explore
movements that are difficult for them normally. And again, water is a fun, motivating
and “normal” environment for children who are otherwise separated from peers in clinical settings.
BEATS is currently seeking a new location to be able to provide aquatic therapy services.
Please check back for updates.
