Aquatics

Pediatric aquatic therapy is a fun and effective form of treatment that uses the unique properties of water to help children with various physical, developmental, and sensory challenges.

Our specially trained therapists work one-on-one with children in a warm pool, using playful activities and specialized techniques to address each child's unique needs. Aquatic therapy can benefit children with conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism, developmental delays, orthopedic injuries, and more.

Sessions are tailored to your child's goals and may complement land-based therapies. The water provides a supportive, low-impact environment where children often feel more confident to try new movements and skills.

Benefits of aquatic therapy include:

• Reduced impact on joints due to water's buoyancy
• Improved muscle strength and endurance
• Enhanced balance and coordination
• Increased flexibility and range of motion
• Sensory integration and body awareness
• Pain relief and relaxation

Climbing

This innovative approach to therapy combines physical challenges with fun, helping kids build strength, improve coordination, and boost confidence in a safe, supportive environment.

Our specially trained physical therapists use adaptive equipment and techniques to ensure that climbing is accessible to children with various physical, cognitive, and sensory needs. Whether a child has autism, ADHD, physical disabilities, or other challenges, we tailor the climbing experience to their unique abilities and goals.

Adaptive rock climbing not only provides physical benefits but also encourages problem-solving skills, social interaction, and a sense of accomplishment. It's a powerful tool that helps children push their limits, overcome obstacles, and discover new capabilities in an engaging, non-traditional therapy setting.

Benefits of climbing therapy include:

  • Improves physical coordination, balance, and motor skills

  • Enhances core strength and overall muscle development

  • Develops fine motor skills and hand strength

  • Builds self-confidence and self-esteem

  • Enhances problem-solving abilities and cognitive skills

  • Promotes sensory integration and body awareness

  • Helps with emotional regulation and stress relief

  • Improves focus and attention
