The role of aquatic therapy in improving mobility for children with cerebral palsy

In my recent exploration, I discovered the significant impact aquatic therapy has on children with cerebral palsy. This form of therapy uses the natural buoyancy of water to facilitate movements, which can be difficult on land due to muscle weakness or spasticity. The warm water also helps to relax muscles, making exercise easier and more comfortable. Aquatic therapy has been found to notably improve mobility, balance, and overall quality of life in children with cerebral palsy. It's truly inspiring to witness how these little warriors find a sense of freedom and fun in water while enhancing their physical abilities.
