Aquatic Physiotherapy

Aquatic physiotherapy, or hydrotherapy, is a specialised form of physiotherapy conducted in a heated pool, designed to support children with various developmental, neurological, and musculoskeletal conditions. The warmth and buoyancy of the water help reduce muscle tension, improve movement, and build strength in a fun, low-impact environment.

Benefits of Aquatic Physiotherapy:

• Enhances strength, coordination, and balance

• Reduces pain and muscle stiffness

• Supports mobility and motor skill development

• Encourages confidence and participation in movement

• Provides an opportunity for improving cardiovascular fitness

  
  

Unlike swimming lessons, which focus on water safety and stroke technique, aquatic physiotherapy is a tailored therapy delivered by a qualified physiotherapist. It targets specific goals such as improving posture, endurance, movement patterns or skill development, using water’s natural properties to assist or challenge movement.

At Kids Kinetics, we make aquatic therapy playful and engaging, helping children move, grow, and thrive in a supportive water-based setting.
