Splash Time Aqua Therapy Program @ Cerebral Palsy Association of Alberta

The Aqua Therapy Program for children aged 2 – 12 is designed to provide Aquatic Physiotherapy under the direction of a Physiotherapist, with the support of volunteers. The program will be hosted at a warm water pool to increase the benefits of Aqua Therapy. Starting rehabilitative therapies at an early age helps to support children with physical disabilities to improve muscle tone, balance and flexibility while providing the opportunity to connect with others to improve social skills and confidence. Participants benefit from a gentle resistance to improve strength, pain relief as the warm water increases the blood flow to the sore muscles and helps to reduce spasticity.
