Here are some helpful reasons why considering aqua therapy with the Play Project for your child with Autism in the Seremban Lake Garden area:
- Working in the water allows children to perform and learn movements that would otherwise be too difficult to perform on land. Returning to their land-based program then provides them the opportunity to practice movements which with they have become more skilled in the water.
- The physiological benefits of a warm pool include: decreased pain, increased range of motion, decreased sensitivity of sensory nerve endings, and increased joint range of motion.
- Vestibular stimulation from buoyancy and resistance improves a child’s ability to integrate sensory information.
- The viscosity of water gives a child time to react and experiment with the consequences of movement.
- The hydrostatic pressure created when partially or fully submerged in water improves circulation, increases the work of breathing, and gives the body 360 degrees of deep pressure.
