Aquatherapy utilizes water-based exercises and activities to promote physical and therapeutic benefits for children, particularly in the context of bilateral coordination, self-regulation, and balance. The buoyancy of water reduces the impact on joints and provides a supportive environment for children with developmental delays or motor coordination issues.
Activities like swimming, wading, and water games engage both sides of the body simultaneously, helping children develop bilateral coordination. The resistance of water also strengthens muscles, improves motor skills, and encourages children to use both hands and legs in a coordinated manner, which supports the development of handwriting and sports. |
