Key Takeaways:

  1. Hydrotherapy can support physical therapy for children with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
  2. Water-based exercises help improve range of motion and reduce stiffness.
  3. The buoyancy of water reduces pressure on joints, making movement easier.
  4. Not all children may benefit equally, so individual assessment is important.
  5. Consult a physiotherapist to see if hydrotherapy is suitable for your child.

Exercises in water help improve the range of motion in physical therapy. Consult with your physiotherapist to understand if your child qualifies to benefit from hydrotherapy.
